complete fly brain connectomeBerkeley

By digitally mapping the whole brain of a fruit fly, scientists hope to gain insight into human brain disorders.
The fly brain’s wiring diagram, or connectome, was assembled from 7,000 thin slices through a female adult fly.
The next goal is a connectome of the mouse brain; the ultimate prize, the wiring matrix of a human brain.
Scientists have already created whole brain diagrams and computer simulations for much smaller brains, such as that of a fruit fly larva, which has 3,016 neurons.
But computer simulations of these brains weren’t very good at predicting larval or worm behavior.
Shiu cautioned, however, that his computer model of neurons and their connections, or synapses, is a rather elementary one.
