   The first complete map of every #neuron in an adult fly #brain

   The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly.
   
   The researchers say the whole fly brain map is a key first step to completing larger brains. Since the fruit fly is a common tool in research, its brain map can be used to advance our understanding of how neural circuits work. #flies #science #insects #brains #Neurons
