Connectome data
- FlyWire FAFB v783 — adult female brain; the brain circuit of the running model. Dorkenwald S, et al., Nature 634, 124–138 (2024); Schlegel P, et al., Nature 634, 139–152 (2024). Licence: CC BY-NC 4.0. The fly model selects a subgraph, adds cell-type annotations and derives signed synapse-count weights.
- MaleCNS v1.0 — adult male brain and nerve cord; the locomotor circuit of the running model and the anatomy explorer. FlyEM, HHMI Janelia, with the University of Cambridge, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Google Research; Berg S, et al., bioRxiv (2025). Licence: CC BY 4.0. The fly model uses a bounded leg circuit extracted from it.
- BANC v888 — adult female brain and nerve cord; the anatomy explorer and the films on this site. Bates AS, Phelps JS, Kim M, et al., Nature 656, 957–970 (2026), doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10735-w; data doi:10.7910/DVN/7WTH1N. Licence: CC BY 4.0.
Because the FlyWire data may be used only non-commercially, NeuroCause is free of charge and carries no advertising.
Films and figures
The films and figures on this website are made by NeuroCause from the datasets above and from its own simulation runs. Light in the films shows either spikes from a simulation run or an illustrative overlay, as stated beside each film; none of it is a recording from a living fly. Soundtracks are original compositions.
