A connectomics milestone: Mapping the complete male fruit fly brain
AI summary
Google Research partnered with HHMI Janelia, the University of Cambridge and others to publish in Cell a complete connectome of a male fruit fly’s brain and central nervous system. It contains over 166,000 neurons and 125 million synaptic connections, making it the largest brain map to date by neuron count.

- Why it was chosen
- The largest brain map by neuron count shows how AI assembles electron microscopy slices into a complete connectome.
A model scores each item twice, independently, against one written standard, out of 100. An item is admitted only when the two scores add up to twice the threshold. The threshold is set per source tier.
