The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

Light enters the compound eye of the fly, causing hexagonally arranged photoreceptors to send electrical signals through a complex neural network, enabling the fly to detect motion. With maps of the ...

Recent technological advances facilitate the reconstruction of complete brain connectomes in small organisms and partial connectomes in mammals, involving the mapping of the network of neurons and ...

Neuronal Type Assignment from Connectivity (NTAC) transforms a connectome into a graph, and detects neuron types using ...

With maps of the connections between neurons and artificial intelligence methods, researchers can now do what they never thought possible: predict the activity of individual neurons without making a ...

A connectome is a total reconstruction: every connection between every neuron in a single animal. The connectome is the set of connections that are true of every member of that species (but which, ...
