A scientific simulation gives an ant colony interface to a Drosophila neural graph, using odor-shaped inputs and documented ant-brain facts.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-12 issue.

Field notes

The page separates documented Ooceraea biroi facts from borrowed computational components instead of presenting a fabricated ant connectome. Its model uses a 493-channel odor hash, a smell-oriented ant reference, and a fly-derived KC-to-MBON circuit with depression, a floor, and slow forgetting. Five descending-neuron populations become relabelled role read-outs, while the page explicitly says they are not ant anatomy.
