Fruit Fly Lab

firing now strongest sugar → MN9 paths silenced MN9 (proboscis motor neuron)

0 ms of 1000 ms simulated

illustrative link MN9 firing rate → proboscis joint angle. The brain model and the body model are not physically connected in any published work; this mapping is ours.

Tap the fly to give it sugar. Tap a glowing neuron to inspect it.

Replay shows the full 139,255-neuron model, computed ahead of time. Live runs the same model on the neurons that matter here, in your browser, and you can silence any of them.
