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 combines brain-wide activity imaging with electron microscopy to identify a distributed neural network for processing threatening somatosensory stimuli in Drosophila larvae.

The paper provides a connectomic description of ascending and descending neurons in the Drosophila nervous system, revealing sexual dimorphism and motor-related circuits.

The paper uses artificial neural networks to classify neurotransmitters from electron microscopy images of Drosophila melanogaster synapses, achieving high accuracy and revealing ultrastructural differences.

The paper investigates the role of the APL neuron in larval Drosophila, finding that optogenetic activation can induce a rewarding effect through dopaminergic pathways.

1328 descending and 733 motor neurons of the male Drosophila nerve cord connectome were curated; direct links between them are infrequent, and intrinsic-neuron communities route control per motor system.

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.

The paper systematically annotates a complete adult male Drosophila nerve cord connectome, identifying neuron types, connectivity patterns, and sensory modalities to reveal organizational principles.

The paper presents whole-brain serial-section electron microscopy data of a larval zebrafish, enabling reconstruction of neuronal processes and analysis of axonal symmetry and connectivity.
