Structure of Fruit Fly Brain (2018)
- pixel_tracing 6y agoCan we simulate a fly brain in a computer?
- kbelder 6y agoNot even close. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWorm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWorm "Although the long-term goal is to model all 959 cells of the C. elegans, the first stage is to model the worm's locomotion by simulating the 302 neurons and 95 muscle cells."

- gliese1337 6y agoThe data is cool, but the demonstration of the process is much, much cooler. If other teams can replicate it to produce images of several fruit fly brains, so it's possible to study the variation, that could really be the start of something big. And if they can pair them with genome sequences, to start investigating how genetics influences neural development....
