3-D map of fly brain is to neuroscience what genome is to genetics

In an advance that is being compared to the sequencing of the fly genome, researchers have created the first brain-wide wiring map of a fruit fly. The breakthrough paves the way for a comprehensive analysis of information processing within and between neurones and ultimately a deeper understanding of control and causality in fly behaviour, according to the researchers who report their findings online on December 2 in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication...
