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 identifies conserved head direction circuits in bees, ants, and flies, showing stability over 300 million years with evolvable synaptic differences.

The paper presents a multi-resolution imaging and analysis pipeline for circuit reconstruction in insects, revealing conserved and specialized neural circuits across six species.

This paper introduces a method using synchrotron-source micro-x-ray computed tomography combined with machine learning to rapidly image and analyze butterfly eye structures, revealing morphological variation and supporting evolutionary insights.

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.

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 develops a large-scale segmentation pipeline using supercomputing to analyze dendritic spines in connectomics datasets, improving efficiency and accuracy for synapse morphology studies.
