The FlyWire Connectome

[@StalkerX426]

I wish significant scientific videos like these should be have at least 10-5 millions of views.

[@aleksanderorzechowski5580]

Good point! Very telling about how little general interst there is

[@jaysonball2320]

Congratulations to everyone involved in this effort. Amazing stuff.

Let me know when communication channels open up. I want to evict them from my kitchen 😂

Not only is the brain structure amazing, but don’t forget the microscopic, self replicating molecular computers following error corrected code (cels with DNA) made that entire organism.

I’m going to download the fly and teach it about capitalism and paying taxes.

[@EchoErik]

This is amazing, and an unexpectedly emotional video.

What an impressive and admirable work. Thank you for your perseverance!

I would love to know how they are able to discern types of neurons from one another.

Good work

Greetings from the past. This was only the beginning. It didn't take long until we would change totally as a species.

[@Dasycottus]

This is exquisite. Im glad you paired it with appropriately epic music. Zebrafish next! Chuck $10m and a bunch of computing at this

So when can i download a live fly to my computer?

Keep telling ya, I could volintire. I am perfect canidate I have a whole to brain cells that directly connect to each other.

[@a.gholiha6884]

I am surprised that it's pretty small amount of neurons and connections. Intuitively I thought it would be more. In AI it's a pretty small model.

[@Ryvar]

For a pre-trained model yeah, 50 million parameter-equivalent (since you go by synapse count, not neurons) is low. But for something that’s undergoing continuous runtime training? RNN counts aren’t usually this high, AFAIK. A human adult is about 700,000 this many neurons and synapses, typically.

[@spolo123]

​@@Ryvar what's more it's able to discriminate water from other surfaces it can land onto with as little as hundreds of pixels and a matter 50 millions parameters. Meanwhile an autonomous car needs a whole computer to understand where's the road

[@PabloEmmanuelDeLeo]

Amazing I am happy to by alive to see this.

Fascinating. Keep it up! Are there still people who believe that the universe is a large accident?! Is the universe not a combiation of infinite number of infinitely small worlds forming an infinitely large one?

[@EC-yw5hg]

We don't know the origin of the Universe prior to the Big Bang. It's perfectly acceptable to say "we just don't know yet".

If this isn't evidence of a Designer, I don't know what is. And to think, there are gnats that are much smaller than a fruit fly with even tinier brains! The more we learn about the amazing world around us, the more amazed i am at the creativity of God.

[@dang-x3n0t1ct]

Giving my father cancer isn't very creative

[@brimstonepyro1019]

How is this evidence of a creator? Who created your creator? After all they are a complex being. Had to have been created by something superior.

[@jeffgough]

@@brimstonepyro1019The God of the Bible is immaterial and timeless. Which would make sense, if this God put space, time, and matter into existence, he couldn’t have already been bound by them; he would have had to come before. And if he is eternal, then he requires no creator, he simply always was. For the atheistic worldview, this is a genuine problem though. I presume you hold space and time always existed (or popped into existence by some other caused cause)? And nitrogen and oxygen and carbon and other essential building blocks just always existed? It’s harder for me to believe nitrogen has always been there than a spaceless, immaterial, eternal being has always been there. Especially as we have some accounts of this being revealing himself and it does explanatory work for how mutations (which are virtually always detrimental to an organism) could have somehow led to order and great complexity and the appearance of design. Even Dawkins agrees the universe has the appearance of being designed. And the more we learn about genetics, the more we see it is like the programming of a software designer and not the result of continual accidents over time.

[@taheramamdani670]

A verse in the Quran mentions a fly and the inability of other gods to create it is verse 22:73 of chapter 22, sūrat l-ḥaj (The Pilgrimage): O humanity! A lesson is set forth, so listen to it ˹carefully˺: those ˹idols˺ you invoke besides God can never create ˹so much as˺ a fly, even if they ˹all˺ were to come together for that. And if a fly were to snatch anything away from them, they cannot ˹even˺ retrieve it from the fly.

[@scottcates]

The researchers could have saved a few years' time by dissecting the brain of a Trump supporter--much smaller AND FAR SIMPLER than a fruit fly's.

[@Beny-p2k]

It's unfortunate that some people feel the need to insult others over political differences. I believe we can have a productive conversation without resorting to that. This video has nothing to do with politics.

[@EC-yw5hg]

This whiny condescension is going to be the very cause of your party's downfall, Scott. Democrats are equally guilty of science denialism.

[@amdg2521]

It’s that type of thinking that actually does lead to genocides. First you dehumanize the other to make it easier to justify your actions.

Take this comment some where else please

[@detossangrasse5428]

This comment is almost too stupid to respond to, but what the heck - You didn't bother to actually read anything about this project, did you? The Flywire consortium was started by a Princeton based team, but led by neuroscientists Dr. Mala Murthy (Indian origin), and Dr. Sebastian Seung (Korean origin). Of course their research has nothing to do with where they come from, but their hard work, intelligence etc. But anyways, you can take those 'westerner's' balls out of your mouth now lol

[@babarkamran6698]

Wow….our Creator is Great and worthy of All Praise!!!

[@hegemonersmith1048]

Brains are the product of evolution. They were not “created” by some imaginary being (or beings, depending on the particular religious viewpoint). I write as a retired scientist who worked on a number of novel Drosophila melanogaster genes (including some brain genes) and their mouse and human homologues.

[@pw7225]

Some fruit flies may be smarter than this.
