Connectomes: Mapping the mind of a fly
https://elifesciences.org/articles/62451

気になったので、調べたら進歩していた。
先月に新しい論文が発表されてる。

蝿の脳の全容量
the brain of a fruit fly contains over 100,000 neurons with around 100 million synapses.

最新の解析状況
they have created the largest high-resolution connectome in any animal to date (Scheffer et al., 2020).

The researchers generated a connectome for one half of the largely symmetrical fly brain, comprising over 25,000 neurons and 20 million synapses.

残りの半分は？
Many of the tiniest twigs that are difficult for both human and machine eyes to trace may have been missed or lie ‘disconnected’ from their true parent neuron, which may reside in the other unmapped half of the brain. This could potentially reduce the number of synapses between two cells.

after all,�another�half of the fly brain remains to be analyzed.

まとめ
今できる限界までやって、半分解析した
新しい解析ツールや手法待ちなう
