A curated list of fruit fly connectome projects: MaleCNS, FlyWire, brain simulations, embodied models, games, and research tools.
Python library for analysis of neuroanatomical data.
Embodied Drosophila: 138,639-neuron whole-brain connectome simulation (FlyWire v783) in a biomechanical body (NeuroMechFly v2 / MuJoCo). Vision, olfaction, gustation, flight, and emergent behaviors — all from the real connectome.
Tools to work with the FlyWire connectome. Fully interoperable with navis.
🪰 Chat with 138,000 neurons — whole-brain fruit fly simulation with natural language interface and dopamine learning
把果蝇全脑连接组跑在一台 16GB 笔记本上:接身体、做成浏览器游戏(Running the whole Drosophila brain connectome on a 16 GB laptop, wiring it to a body, shipping it as a browser game )
Native .NET inference engine for fly-connectome spiking models (MaleCNS, FlyWire) — and an honest demo of what such simulations are
The world's first web framework routed by a fruit fly brain: a Spring Boot-style Java framework where a spiking simulation of the real Drosophila connectome (FlyWire, 139k neurons) decides which controller handles each HTTP request.
Real audio in, real neurons firing, real time. No samples, no playback tricks: it listens to whatever your PC is currently playing.
Windows port (C#/.NET 8/Direct3D11) of desktop-vibe-fly - a 3D fruit fly on your desktop driven by a live FlyWire connectome simulation, with a vibecode nose for AI agent activity. Fork/port of kulikov0/desktop-vibe-fly, itself a fork of DenisSergeevitch/desktop-fly.
Linux/X11 port of DesktopFly (desktop-fly): a 3D fruit fly on your GNOME desktop, driven by a live spiking simulation of the real FlyWire connectome. Python + GTK3 + cairo, no Electron.
Stimulate a real fruit fly's brain in your browser. Leaky integrate-and-fire over the FlyWire connectome — 138,639 neurons, 2.7M connections, 60 fps, no dependencies.
FlyWire brain + BANC nerve cord, joined by cell type: a pre-registered test of whether real wiring helps learn the optomotor turn
A whole-brain spiking model of the FlyWire fruit fly connectome that screens 140 sensory types for steering pathways and predicts a thermo-hygrosensory route to the steering neuron DNb05, with a live game to explore it.
Fruit fly connectome lab: real FlyWire pursuit circuit (3,963 neurons, no training) aims a gun on the web and plays Doom, with scrambled-wiring and lesion controls
Behavioural benchmark for whole-brain fruit fly connectome simulations: 31 pre-registered, cited tasks on FlyWire v783 and MaleCNS, shuffled-wiring controls, a reference LIF and the first cross-model comparison (spike-frequency adaptation beats it).
Virtual organisms powered by real brain wiring. Connectome data → spiking neural network → physics body → emergent behavior.
FlyWire FAFB v783 connectome as a ready-to-train PyTorch Geometric dataset: 139,255 neurons, 2.7M edges, 9-class node classification, real CPU baselines (MLP 0.9851 / SAGE 0.9812 / GCN 0.9166)
A simulated fruit-fly brain, wired from the real FlyWire connectome (138,639 spiking neurons), plays Terraria and beats the Moon Lord on Master mode.
