Scientists produced the first complete wiring diagram of an adult animal’s central nervous system by connecting the entire fruit fly brain to its ventral nerve cord, mapping ~160,000 neurons and their synaptic connections. Analysis revealed that behavior is controlled largely through distributed local motor circuits rather than a central command center, providing a foundational resource for neuroscience and a biologically grounded model for next-generation AI and robotics. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10735-w
