The anatomy
Neuron positions and annotations come from the FlyWire v783 adult fruit fly connectome. The interactive atlas displays these cells at their measured positions.
Real wiring.
Open possibilities.
Behind the fly is a mapped brain: 138,639 neurons and millions of connections, made accessible through decades of collective research.
The experiment
A spiking neural model carries signals through 2,700,513 retained connections. Select a sensory input and explore the resulting neural activity.
The interpretation
The body visualises neural responses through a movement decoder. This is a computational experiment, not a living animal or a model trained to solve arbitrary tasks.
Science moves forward, together.
