A sample of neurons from the Drosophila optic lobe

Janelia scientists and collaborators have released a comprehensive wiring diagram of the fruit fly visual system.
The Drosophila optic lobe connectome provides a map of the more than 50,000 neurons that form the fruit fly’s visual system.
This video shows a sample of some of the neurons identified in the optic lobe.
