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 introduces methods to prepare Drosophila brains for high-throughput FIB-SEM connectomics, enabling faster and more accurate imaging of neural connections.

This study identifies synaptic connections of T4/T5 neurons in Drosophila, revealing new cell types and connectivity patterns that explain motion signal integration in the visual system.

The paper presents a detailed connectome of the adult Drosophila central brain, including new methods for data analysis and biological insights into neural circuit organization.

A dense electron-microscopy reconstruction of half the fly central brain, with nearly every cell typed and queryable online, turns months of tracing partners into a database lookup.
