Scientists complete first map of an insect brain

The First-Ever Complete Map of an Insect Brain Is Truly Mesmerizing

After 12 years of work, a huge team of researchers from the UK, US, and Germany have completed the largest and most complex brain map to date, describing every neural connection in the brain of a larval fruit fly.

First Complete Map of an Insect Brain – “Everything Has Been Working Up to This”

In the quest to understand how we think, “everything has been working up to this.” Researchers have completed the most advanced brain map to date, that of an insect, a landmark achievement in neuroscience that brings scientists closer to true understanding of the mechanism of thought. “It's been

Mission to map tiny insect brain finally bears fruit

Scientists have mapped all the connections inside an insect’s brain for the first time, in a painstaking project.The international team built a schematic of all the 3,016 neurons in a fruit fly larva’s brain, along with the 548,000 connections between them.This “connectome” contains more than twice as many neurons as the previous largest mapped brain, in a worm larva, and will form a basis for understanding the neurology of the fruit fly, which i
