The paper presents the complete connectome of the Drosophila male central nervous system and compares it to the female connectome, identifying sex-specific and dimorphic neuronal types.

The paper presents the first densely reconstructed adult fruit fly connectome integrating the brain and ventral nerve cord, revealing distributed control circuits involving local and long-range neural connections.

Annotating the 127,978-neuron FlyWire fly connectome yields 4,552 cell types, 3,094 cross-validated against the hemibrain; cell-type edges above 10 synapses or 1.1% of input recur over 90% across hemispheres.

Roughly 23 thousand traced neurons and 10 million TBars of the male Drosophila nerve cord, reconstructed from electron microscopy, typed, and queryable in neuPrint down to motor neurons.
