MaleCNS v1.0
MaleCNS v1.0 is the complete connectome of a male fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) brain and nerve cord, open-sourced by Google and the Janelia Research Campus. It represents a full “wiring diagram” of the insect’s central nervous system, providing a foundational dataset for understanding neural circuitry and behavior.
