We are excited to have been part of the community effort that led to the Brain-and-Nerve-Cord (BANC) connectome.
Published in Nature, the BANC connectome is a complete, synapse-level wiring map of the fruit fly’s central nervous system (brain + ventral nerve cord), enabling end-to-end circuit tracing from sensory inputs to motor outputs.

Real brains have messy, heterogeneous neural tuning - and that’s a feature, not a bug. We show how heterogeneity boosts encoded information 🚀. Swing by poster [1-019] at tonight’s #cosyne26 to see how.

The Drugowitsch lab, in particular @zakiajabi.bsky.social, contributed an efficiently computable “influence score”—a scalable way to quantify effective distance and signal propagation in large neural networks. Code at doi.org/10.5281/zeno....
