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

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.

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.
