Model & sources

166,700 neurons from MaleCNS v1.0. Dataset IDs identify individual cells; they are not consecutive neuron numbers.

Recorded connectivity and adapted spiking dynamics drive crafted walking, turning, and flight animations. The movements are illustrative, not validated predictions of fly behavior. The scanned body is a female NeuroMechFly specimen.

Turn actions stimulate LC9 and DNa02 on the selected side. Directly stimulated neurons can still fire when recurrent transmission is disabled.
