A synapse-by-synapse map of a brain
Complete synaptic-resolution connectomes have until now only been mapped for three organisms with up to several hundred brain neurons. Winding et al. describe a three-dimensional electron microscopy–based reconstruction of the larval fruit fly brain. The brain of the Drosophila larva has an order of magnitude more neurons, an even greater scale more synapses, and a complex brain organization.
