Auditory neurons of a fruity fly

The auditory neurons of a fruit fly. A team of researchers and citizen scientists has made a massive step toward understanding the human brain by building a neuron-by-neuron, synapse-by-synapse roadmap -- a "connectome" -- through the brain of an adult fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster).
