Researchers combine the power of AI and the connectome to predict brain cell activity
This image depicts visual processing in the fruit fly. Light enters the compound eye of the fly, causing hexagonally arranged photoreceptors to send electrical signals through a complex neural network, enabling the fly to detect motion. A team of researchers from HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus and the University of Tübingen used the fruit fly optic lobe connectome to build a detailed deep mechanistic network simulation of the fly visual system.
