flywire

A curated list of fruit fly connectome projects: MaleCNS, FlyWire, brain simulations, embodied models, games, and research tools.

Explore the FlyWire Connectome

Python library for analysis of neuroanatomical data.

Embodied Drosophila: 138,639-neuron whole-brain connectome simulation (FlyWire v783) in a biomechanical body (NeuroMechFly v2 / MuJoCo). Vision, olfaction, gustation, flight, and emergent behaviors — all from the real connectome.

Tools to work with the FlyWire connectome. Fully interoperable with navis.

🪰 Chat with 138,000 neurons — whole-brain fruit fly simulation with natural language interface and dopamine learning

把果蝇全脑连接组跑在一台 16GB 笔记本上：接身体、做成浏览器游戏（Running the whole Drosophila brain connectome on a 16 GB laptop, wiring it to a body, shipping it as a browser game ）

Native .NET inference engine for fly-connectome spiking models (MaleCNS, FlyWire) — and an honest demo of what such simulations are

Windows port (C#/.NET 8/Direct3D11) of desktop-vibe-fly - a 3D fruit fly on your desktop driven by a live FlyWire connectome simulation, with a vibecode nose for AI agent activity. Fork/port of kulikov0/desktop-vibe-fly, itself a fork of DenisSergeevitch/desktop-fly.

Linux/X11 port of DesktopFly (desktop-fly): a 3D fruit fly on your GNOME desktop, driven by a live spiking simulation of the real FlyWire connectome. Python + GTK3 + cairo, no Electron.

Real audio in, real neurons firing, real time. No samples, no playback tricks: it listens to whatever your PC is currently playing.

Stimulate a real fruit fly's brain in your browser. Leaky integrate-and-fire over the FlyWire connectome — 138,639 neurons, 2.7M connections, 60 fps, no dependencies.

Virtual organisms powered by real brain wiring. Connectome data → spiking neural network → physics body → emergent behavior.

Complete Drosophila brain connectome (3.5M synapses) with 8 reproducible projects: network analysis, simulation, 3D viz, and trained ML models (cell-type classification 88%, link prediction 0.97 AUC)

Poke a neuron in the fruit fly brain and watch what fires: a laptop-speed LIF simulation of the full FlyWire connectome

Behavioural benchmark for whole-brain fruit fly connectome simulations: 31 pre-registered, cited tasks on FlyWire v783 and MaleCNS, shuffled-wiring controls, a reference LIF and the first cross-model comparison (spike-frequency adaptation beats it).

A living fruit fly in your browser. Feed it and its real feeding circuit fires — 448 neurons from the Drosophila connectome, simulated live.

Is a real fly brain a better reservoir computer than random wiring? The full Drosophila connectome (166,700 neurons) as an echo state network for SPY returns and volatility, tested against random rewirings. Short answer: no, and it replicates on FlyWire.

FlyWire FAFB v783 connectome as a ready-to-train PyTorch Geometric dataset: 139,255 neurons, 2.7M edges, 9-class node classification, real CPU baselines (MLP 0.9851 / SAGE 0.9812 / GCN 0.9166)

Are fruit flies zero-shot adapters? A FlyWire whole-brain spiking model with FlyVis eyes steers a NeuroMechFly body, and keeps steering after two legs are cut. Scramble the wiring and it can't.
