bFlyBrain: A Fruit-Fly Connectome With a Token Attached
Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
A public browser simulation runs a claimed 165,122-neuron fruit-fly connectome and maps its neural output to cursor movement.
Field notes
The page describes a leaky integrate-and-fire model built from 165,122 traced neurons and 10,228,000 signed connections, with visual input reduced to 892 retinotopic hexagonal columns. Named descending neurons translate activity into cursor movement: DNa02 controls left-right steering, DNa01 forward motion, MDN reversal, and DNp09 stopping. The page also documents KC→MBON plasticity and reward counts, while separately presenting a BNB Smart Chain token with stated 1% buy and sell taxes.
