A countdown with orange bars on near-black: the top five things by whole-brain spikes in a fruit fly brain model: the world sliding forwards (77,482), sliding backwards (70,731), light on the eyes (68,627), the smell of honey (67,562), the world sweeping down (64,512); silence is 12,275. Then: the top three were all seen, 14 of 15 runs it did nothing; a female, 38,573 spikes, made it sing 5 of 5.
A fruit fly brain circuit on black: its two pIP10 song command neurons, 22 TN1a song interneurons and 16 wing motor neurons, above a drawn fly. Every flash is a real spike from a run of its brain model with a female near. Whole, spikes travel down and sound arcs come from the wing. Then the outgoing synapses of the two pIP10 cells are cut: they still fire, faster, but the cells below go quiet. A table of 5 runs each: pIP10 74 to 101.8 Hz, TN1a 20.9 to 2.4, hi1 4.6 to 0, DVMn 1.2 to 0.2, wing output 14.4 to 4.5; the decision is sing in 5 of 5 both times.
The fruit fly's whole nervous system, brain and nerve cord, drawn from 16,258 real traced neuron shapes (MaleCNS connectome), turning once round on black.
A screen recording of drosophila.io on a phone. Someone types loom into its terminal: the live fly brain answers, the giant fibre fires and the stage shows flee. Then female: song neurons fire, sing. Then touch: grooming neurons fire, groom. Captions name what was typed and what fired. It ends: send me something yourself, drosophila.io.
A fruit fly brain built from its real wiring map. Motion passes the left eye only; spikes spread through the brain and the result reads "turns left."
