Scientists have achieved a significant milestone by mapping the entire brain of an adult fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), detailing 139,255 neurons and 50 million synaptic connections. This landmark achievement, published in Nature, provides the first complete wiring diagram of an adult brain capable of complex behaviors such as walking and flying. The research, led by Princeton University and involving international collaboration, leverages advanced AI to create a 'Google Map' of the fruit fly brain, essential for understanding neural circuits and behaviors. The fruit fly's brain, with its genetic and structural similarities to the human brain, serves as a model for studying more complex brains and could pave the way for breakthroughs in understanding human neurological functions and disorders. The comprehensive dataset has been made freely available to researchers worldwide to foster further studies.
