An international team co-led by the University of Cambridge has mapped every neuron in the male Drosophila fly’s brain and nerve cord, to produce a wiring map of the 166,700 neurons and the millions of connections between them.Known in scientific terms as a ‘connectome’, this is allowing unprecedented insights into how the brain turns sensory input into sophisticated behaviour by allowing researchers to identify the chains of connected neurons deep into the brain.
