Google announces first complete map of an adult male fruit fly’s brain and central nervous system

Google says its researchers worked with HHMI Janelia Research Campus and the scientific community to map an adult male fruit fly’s complete brain and central nervous system for the first time. According to Google, the team used AI to reconstruct 166,000-plus neurons from millions of 2D images. The company says the map could help accelerate understanding of the brain, describing fruit flies as a key model organism in science.
