A curated list of fruit fly connectome projects: MaleCNS, FlyWire, brain simulations, embodied models, games, and research tools.
A fruit fly connectome as a drone pilot. Camera -> fly eyes -> spiking brain -> descending neurons -> drone. Live 3D demo in your browser.
NeuroCraft Fly by Evan Sinclair Smith: an interactive fruit-fly connectome model in Minecraft. Public project home and release roadmap.
Five fruit flies pinned to electric pins. A sixth fly, wired into a reward-punishment loop, decides which two get current, gets dopamine when one maxes out, and burns when the others go cold. Six copies of the MaleCNS connectome, 166,700 neurons each, bit-identical until something is done to them. [Look at the bottom of the README]
A fruit fly in a tiny tank helmet plays Claude of Tanks. Live spiking neurons, a miniature 3D cockpit, and autonomous battles with 171 vehicles and 30 maps. Built with Three.js and TypeScript. Play in your browser.
A fruit-fly connectome (Janelia male CNS v1.0, 30,000 neurons) trained to fly an FPV drone in Liftoff, with live neural activity video
基于 MaleCNS 果蝇连接组、Brian2 与 FlyGym/MuJoCo 的神经元级脑-身体闭环仿真实验台:支持食物/天敌刺激、166 神经元 raster、教学因果链与虚拟果蝇主视角。
Kick-the-buddy game where the buddy is a live 166,700-neuron fruit fly connectome
166,700 fruit fly neurons trying to center a div using the MaleCNS connectome.
A real fruit fly nervous system (MaleCNS connectome, 165k neurons) plays rock-paper-scissors chess with zero training, deciding by its own approach vs escape circuits.
🪰⚖️ A real fruit fly connectome sits as juror and rules on X posts. 165,122 neurons, 25,563,197 synaptic connections, zero reading comprehension. Also: proof that the descending-neuron readout every viral fly-brain demo uses carries no information at all.
Poke a fruit fly's senses and watch real neural circuits fire — interactive connectome playground built on the Janelia/Google fruit fly brain maps. Train its mushroom body. Hear it sing.
Fruit fly introduction risk dashboard for USDA APHIS PPQ. Dual frontend: Leaflet.js geospatial dashboard + Streamlit analytics platform (Poisson GLM, Pseudo-R² 0.68). Covers 6 invasive species across air passenger & cargo pathways. USDA × CSU Hackathon 2026.
166,700 neurons. Six legs. One qazan. A browser fly-brain simulation meets recipe-guided Uzbek plov cooking.
A small pet fly for your Mac desktop. Drop food and watch it move.
A real fruit fly nervous system (MaleCNS connectome, 165k neurons) simulated live, playing Snake, with the controls the viral demos skipped.
Inspectable fruit-fly neural simulation built from the official MaleCNS connectome, with foraging, learning, gym experiments, and a Three.js/WebGPU observatory.
A real 166,700-neuron fruit-fly connectome piloting a virtual drone to find food. Work in progress, honestly documented.
