Summary Report
The largest proofread brain map ever made, a decade in the making, is now an open dataset that developers have already turned into simulations playing Doom and Mario 64, approximations and all.
- 01. 166,000 neurons and 125 million connections, the largest proofread connectome to date
- 02. Developers turned the open dataset into rough simulations playing Doom, Super Mario 64 and Beat Saber within days
Google Research and HHMI Janelia have released the complete wiring diagram of a male fruit fly's brain and central nervous system, 166,000 neurons and 125 million connections, and within days developers had a rough simulation of it playing Doom, Super Mario 64 and Beat Saber.
