We are releasing a whole-brain connectome of the fruit fly, including
~130k annotated neurons and tens of millions of typed synapses!

The main portal to the data is Codex. For every neuron, one can now
query its connectivity, size, neurotransmitter, labels, etc. but also
analyze network graphs and find pathways between neurons!

In our paper, we analyzed the ocellar circuit (image), produced a
projectome between all brain regions, and computed information flow
from input to output neurons. These barely scratch the surface of what
one can now analyze!
