Oh, so this is why we mapped out all 166,000 of the male fruit fly's neurons. Check out the big community effort to show just how much these tiny fly brains are capable of 🪰🧵

First, the fruit fly found itself trapped inside a Minecraft box.

I’ve successfully run the full retained MaleCNS v1.0 fruit fly connectome, all 166,700 neurons, inside Minecraft, with its simulated neural activity driving a fly’s movement.

Was a little overwhelmed, decided to take a break in fruit fly heaven.

Everyone is doing terrible things to this poor fruit fly, trapping it in black mirror nightmare environments, inflicting max pain, forcing it to play the same beat saber song indefinitely etc, so I'm building a sim where it just gets to fly around forever in fruit fly heaven

Bored of the afterlife, came out of retirement to pursue its true passion: cryptocurrency.

I gave the fly brain $100 to trade bitcoin.
Dopamine neurons are stimulated when the fly makes profit. Neuron activity controls buy/sell decisions and makes trades on coinbase.
Will the fly get rich?
