How sparse can a fly-brain model be? Connection strength, wiring placement, network state and task jointly determine function-preserving compression of the Drosophila connectome
The paper evaluates function-preserving sparsification of a Drosophila connectome by removing edges under a fixed budget while preserving validated behavior and population responses across different tasks and network states.
