The comprehensive map will advance research on the neural activity that underlies fundamental processes such as walking and seeing in Drosophila melanogaster, an insect species widely used as a model organism. Neuroscientists are hailing this achievement, published in a nine-paper package in Nature, as a milestone that will boost other, more ambitious connectome projects in zebrafish, mice, and even humans.
