The paper identifies structured connectivity patterns in Drosophila mushroom bodies across multiple connectomes, showing reproducible pathways that prioritize food-related sensory information.

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.

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.

The paper compares synaptic circuitry differences between broadly and narrowly tuned glomeruli in Drosophila to identify generic features of olfactory circuits.

The paper maps the synaptic connectivity of the Drosophila mushroom body and identifies new circuit components and structures in sensory input processing and output modulation.

The paper identifies anatomical subtypes of dopaminergic neurons in Drosophila and their specific input connectivity, revealing functional roles in reinforcement and memory.

The paper identifies new thermosensory and hygrosensory glomeruli and neurons in the Drosophila brain using connectomics, revealing their connections to higher brain centers and circadian clock circuits.

The paper introduces a library of discrete target functions for cell signalling models using BioModelAnalyzer, showing they can predict genetic perturbations with limited data.
