Abstract
None:
Connectomics approaches are fundamentally changing the way scientists investigate the brain. Recently published connectomes have enabled dissection of the intricate motor circuits in the fly's version of the spinal cord on a synaptic level. This has allowed reconstruction of complete sensorimotor pathways in Drosophila.
