The male fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) connectome is a wiring diagram of the animal's brain and nervous system, associated with Google Research. According to creator coverage, it covers more than 166,000 neurons and about 125 million synapses.
The map was built from electron microscope image slices of the tissue, with machine-learning-based segmentation and reconstruction used to trace neurons and identify synapses. Such datasets are used in neuroscience to study circuits, connectivity and how neural structure relates to behavior.
This is a research dataset rather than a product or model. Details such as exact release date, access method, license and collaborators could not be verified from official pages, so they are left unspecified here.
