Scientists have sequenced the complete genome of a roundworm used extensively in biological research, opening a new pathway for synthetic biologists to build and test genetic changes in a ...

In a major milestone for neuroscience, researchers have mapped the entire wiring of a fruit fly’s brain—marking the first time we’ve charted every neuron and its connections in an adult ...

The first (mostly) complete connectome was of a nematode (C. elegans), published in the 1986. To build that initial map, those scientists had to draw out connections by hand using color pencils.

The FlyWire Consortium has created the first full map of an adult female fruit fly brain, revealing neuron connections and unsolved mysteries about the brain.
