Scientists
Mapped

how they’re
wired
together
To understand basic principles of
signals travelling
through the brain
at the neural level

scientists sliced a larval fly brain into 5,000 sections at micro level
Researchers
classified 93
distinct types
of neurons,
the researchers
observed the
connecting structures
were determined
repetitive among the ingoing and outgoing neurons in the part
of the brain
"What we learned about code for fruit flies will have implications for the code for humans," explains
Vogelstein.
"The way
the brain circuit is structured
influences the computations
the brain can do,"
