From takeoff to flight, the wiring of a fly’s nervous system is mapped

Work is underway on a wiring diagram of the motor circuits in the central nervous system that control muscles in fruit flies. This connectome, as the wiring diagram is called, is already providing detailed information on how the nerve coordination of leg movements differs from that controlling the wings. Work is underway on a wiring diagram of the motor circuits in the central nervous system that control muscles in fruit flies.
