Drosophila Connectome
A complete map of neurons and synaptic connections across the entire brain of Drosophila melanogaster, jointly released by Google and the Janelia Research Campus. The dataset contains approximately 146,000 neurons and more than 50 million synapses, making it one of the most comprehensive whole-brain wiring diagrams of any animal. It serves as a foundational data resource for neuromorphic computing and connectomics research.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Google completed a full mapping of the fruit fly brain connectome.
The raw image data volume of the fruit fly connectome dataset reaches the petabyte (PB) scale.
This map is the most detailed connectome map ever achieved at the scale of a complete animal brain.
The project uses connectome data of the fruit fly published by Google, containing approximately 164,000 neurons, and maps it into PyTorch.
The whole-brain connectome of the fruit fly jointly published by Google and the Janelia Research Campus contains approximately 146,000 neurons and more than 50 million synapses.
