Connections between neurons can be mapped by acquiring and analysing electron
microscopic brain images. In recent years, this approach has been applied to chunks of …

The selection and execution of context-appropriate behaviors is controlled by the integrated
action of neural circuits throughout the brain. However, how activity is coordinated across …

We can now measure the connectivity of every neuron in a neural circuit,,,,,,,–, but we cannot
measure other biological details, including the dynamical characteristics of each neuron …

Brains comprise complex networks of neurons and connections, similar to the nodes and
edges of artificial networks. Network analysis applied to the wiring diagrams of brains can …

A deep understanding of how the brain controls behaviour requires mapping neural circuits
down to the muscles that they control. Here, we apply automated tools to segment neurons …

The descending neurons connecting the fly's brain to its ventral nerve cord respond to
sensory stimuli and evoke motor programs of varying complexity. Anatomical …

The recent assembly of the adult Drosophila melanogaster central brain connectome,
containing more than 125,000 neurons and 50 million synaptic connections, provides a …

A catalogue of neuronal cell types has often been called a 'parts list'of the brain, and
regarded as a prerequisite for understanding brain function,. In the optic lobe of Drosophila …

As connectomics advances, it will become commonplace to know far more about the
structure of a nervous system than about its function. The starting point for many …

The circadian clock and its output pathways play a pivotal role in optimizing daily processes.
To obtain insights into how diverse rhythmic physiology and behaviors are orchestrated, we …
