    The First Auditory Connectome

    A new paper was published today in Current Biology that features the first auditory connectome of any species and includes the discovery of 24 new types of neurons.

  • New Cell Drop!

    New Cell Drop!

    We’re excited to share that today, July 21, we’ve dropped ~1,200 new cell segments into the Proofreading Queue for you to check-out! Like the previous drop of ~600 segments, these cells continue to be part of our goal to proofread the synaptic pathways of the optic lobe as they connect to the central brain of…

  • Zone 2: Complete!

    Zone 2: Complete!

    We’re excited to share that FlyWire Zone 2 is complete! Congratulations! Hundreds of neurons from the first 9 optical columns have been proofread and now we’re venturing on to Zone 3.

    FlyWire Zone 2

    Congratulations! We ripped through the neurons of the first optic column. Next up in the reconstruction queue: 8 optical columns.

  • Column One is Complete!

    Column One is Complete!

    Congratulations, FlyWirers! The first optic lobe column is officially declared COMPLETE!

  • FlyWire: Column Countdown

    FlyWire: Column Countdown

    Our first goal in FlyWire is an optical column. We initially define this as all the synaptic partners of one Medulla neuron. Together, that comes to 160 cells total. How fast can we map them?
