Largest Brain Map Ever Reveals 140,000 Neurons and New Nerve Cell Types in Fruit Fly Brain
A new brain map of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster reveals nearly 140,000 neurons and over 54.5 million synapses. Led by neuroscientists Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, the research has uncovered 4,581 previously unknown types of neurons. The project took over four years to complete, relying on AI-assisted electron microscopy.
