Ommara: A Connectome Lab With a Provocative Interface
An interactive comparison of male and female Drosophila nervous-system wiring, using connectome data, neuron geometry, and courtship-related connection maps.
Field notes
The interface combines measured soma coordinates with a comparison of MaleCNS v1.0 and FlyWire FAFB v783. It reports 7,205 isomorphic cell types, 114 dimorphic types, 262 male-specific types, and 69 female-specific types, while identifying the geometry layer as non-simulated. The stated experimental workflow would encode a pheromone, target motion, or courtship song, synchronize matched inputs, and propagate spikes through a prototype LIF model; the page separately marks simulation as not run.
