## AI overview

Google Research describes a complete wiring map of the male fruit fly's brain and central nervous system, containing over 166,000 neurons and 125 million synaptic connections. The connectome was produced through a decade-long partnership using computing and AI, and is available to explore and download via Neuroglancer.
