The full connectome of the fruit fly is slowly being mapped out.
But how do we make sense of it? Sometimes the anatomy is highly suggestive of a function, but more often than not there are much more connections than we expect and the interpretation is complicated.

I've been slowly collecting papers that try to link a simulation of the connectome with a fly behavior.

Here, I'd like to share one such paper, which uses modeling and connectomics to study the link between development and fly preferences for a particular odor.

The paper is:
"Neural correlates of individual odor preference in Drosophila"

I presented the paper in the @tuthill journal club this week and wanted to share it here while it's still in my head! 🧵

Very cool paper from @TimKietzmann and co – minimizing energy consumption in an RNN leads to emergent predictive coding. This one is going on my year end #neuroAI highlight reel
