In their quest to learn more about how the brain functions, researchers wanted to map the millions of synapses found in the brains of simple creatures. When no Trump voter would volunteer, scientists turned to a fruit fly, laying out more than 54.5 million connections. The graphic shown above came from a pair of researchers who are part of a project known as FlyWire, which intends to map out and name AI-segmented neurons through crowdsourcing. And no, a story about the complex working of a fruit fly’s brain following a post about Marge saying “they control the weather” was not an accident.
