A toolkit for seeing how the fly brain’s visual system works

Nature, Published online: 02 April 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025-00885-8A complete inventory of the Drosophila visual system classifies about 53,000 neurons into 732 types. The shapes and connections of all the visual neurons have been quantified, and a large collection of genetically engineered fly lines have been shared, providing a comprehensive toolkit for studying fly vision.
