This might make you think twice next time you reach for the fly swatter. The whole brain wiring diagram of the fly! All 140,000 neurons and their 50M synapses are available to explore in Codex, the Connectome Data Explorer: codex.flywire.ai #sfn23

The fly central brain synthesizes sensory stimuli into decisions and actions. For the first time, ALL 46,944 branched and far-reaching neurons of both hemispheres of the central brain have been reconstructed and are available via FlyWire. join.flywire.ai

Over 50,000 annotations have been added to the connectome by the FlyWire community! This APL neuron, tagged by @mwpleijzier @zhihaozheng, is 20x longer than a fly's whole body and is the longest cell in the brain. Proofread by labs of @gsxej @MurthyLab @sebastianseung

Named in honor of legend @usainbolt, Bolt Neurons (BPNs) drive fly sprints. Recently discovered by @SalilBidaye and published in @NeuroCellPress pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32822613/, FlyWire analysis revealed 4 subtypes that may play a role in walking initiation & velocity control.

The APL neuron is the longest cell in the fly connectome. There are only 2 in the brain. Each one is 20x longer than the fly's whole body and has well over 100,000 synapses. Explore the fantastic APL cell in Codex: codex.flywire.ai/app/cell_detai…

The Drosophila tracheal (gas exchange) system has been proofread in FlyWire by @KenColodner and team Mai Bui, Sky Cho, Marina Lin, and Sommer Huntress in collab with @dddavi @uni_matrix and @Dacks_Lab. Find them at @SfNtweets to learn more! #SfN22 This vid is a FlyWire screencap.
