Color vision is widespread among insects but varies among species, depending on the
spectral sensitivities and interplay of the participating photoreceptors. The spectral sensitivity …

Develo** neurons connect in specific and stereotyped ways to form the complex circuits
that underlie brain function. By comparison to earlier steps in neural development, progress …

The neural circuits responsible for animal behavior remain largely unknown. We summarize
new methods and present the circuitry of a large fraction of the brain of the fruit fly …

We can now measure the connectivity of every neuron in a neural circuit,,,,,,,–, but we cannot
measure other biological details, including the dynamical characteristics of each neuron …

Making inferences about the computations performed by neuronal circuits from synapse-
level connectivity maps is an emerging opportunity in neuroscience. The mushroom body …

Drosophila melanogaster has a rich repertoire of innate and learned behaviors. Its 100,000-
neuron brain is a large but tractable target for comprehensive neural circuit map**. Only …

A catalogue of neuronal cell types has often been called a 'parts list'of the brain, and
regarded as a prerequisite for understanding brain function,. In the optic lobe of Drosophila …

Deciphering how neuronal diversity is established and maintained requires a detailed
knowledge of neuronal gene expression throughout development. In contrast to mammalian …

Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) can automatically generate 3D
images with superior z-axis resolution, yielding data that needs minimal image registration …

To investigate circuit mechanisms underlying locomotor behavior, we used serial-section
electron microscopy (EM) to acquire a synapse-resolution dataset containing the ventral …
