Scientists have created the first complete map of neural connections in a fly's brain.

Scientists have, for the first time in history, been able to fully decode the neural connections in a fly's brain. This achievement opens up new possibilities for understanding how the brain works and may have a significant impact on the development of artificial intelligence and the treatment of neurological diseases. This is reported by the BBC.

Although the fly's brain is significantly smaller and simpler than the human's, it still contains about 130,000 neurons that form 548,000 connections. Scientists from the Laboratory of Molecular Biology of the Medical Research Council in Cambridge identified the position and connections of each of these neurons, creating a detailed map of the fly's brain.

«The fly's brain map is truly impressive and will help us really understand how our own brain works», - said Dr. Gregory Jefferis from the Laboratory of Molecular Biology of the Medical Research Council in Cambridge.

Dr. Schlegel believes that thanks to this new map, the world of neuroscience will see a «avalanche of discoveries in the next couple of years».

Let's recall, scientists debunked the myth of spider eggs in bananas.
