Circuitry Profiling in the Drosophila Brain

July 10, 2017

Assignment of the 16,206 FlyCircuit v1.0 neurons to one of 58 brain regions was computed by determining the geometrical memberships of the somata within 3D meshes of the neuropil structures.

Poster Title: Circuitry Profiling in the Drosophila Brain through Machine Learning
Authors: Rubén Armañanzas, Sumit Nanda, Giorgio A. Ascoli.

Prominent research efforts are unveiling how circuits constitute the basic functional units of nervous systems.

Among them, Drosophila is currently the species with more promising results in mapping brain-wide connections at the
individual neuron level. The pioneering FlyCircuit Database has already traced and co-registered the neurite wiring corresponding to approximately 10% (v1.0) and 23% (v1.1) of the cells in the Drosophila brain.
