摘要
Our brains receive information from sensory neurons about our external environment and internal organs. To understand how the brain processes information and initiates motor outputs, scientists are constructing complete wiring diagrams called “connectomes” that map all neural connections in the brain and body. Taking Drosophila melanogaster as an example, I will discuss challenges in building whole-body connectomes and how that knowledge may help us better understand normal function and treat disease.
