Abstract The neural circuits responsible for behavior remain largely unknown. Previous efforts have reconstructed the complete of small animals, with hundreds neurons, and selected larger animals. Here we (the FlyEM project at Janelia collaborators Google) summarize new methods present circuitry a large fraction brain much more complex animal, fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster . Improved include procedures to prepare, image, align, segment, find synapses, proofread such data sets; that...
Abstract Animal behavior is principally expressed through neural control of muscles. Therefore understanding how the brain controls requires mapping neuronal circuits all way to motor neurons. We have previously established technology collect large-volume electron microscopy data sets tissue and fully reconstruct morphology neurons their chemical synaptic connections throughout volume. Using these tools we generated a dense wiring diagram, or connectome, for large portion Drosophila central...
