Despite how dense the dataset is, Reimer said it's incomplete — some brain cells are missing. The connectome also contains "orphan" extensions that don't appear to emanate from any cells.

Scientists have found 50 million reasons to study the brain of a fruit fly. That's how many connections they discovered in the first complete map— known as a connectome—of an adult insect's brain.

The mouse brain “connectome” builds on similar work on even smaller creatures: The connectome of the nematode worm C. elegans was completed in 2019, and scientists revealed a map of all the ...
