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 […]

Optic Lobe Cell Catalog
Much of a fly’s cognitive processing power is dedicated to vision. Understanding circuits underlying vision may uncover secrets of sensory processing in other intelligent animals. Here’s an overview of the main cell types of the fly optic lobes.
