I expected this would take a few more years, I have no words to describe how excited I am about this news. Drosophila&#x27;s 135.000 neurons... compare it to the manual segmentation of C. elegans&#x27; nervous system taking about 15 years (in the eighties).<p>Here is an interesting view of the (segmented) brain: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;VGxvDJV" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;VGxvDJV</a><p>&quot;The primary result presented here is an automated segmentation of neuronal processes densely covering the entire FAFB dataset, which contains 40 teravoxels of tissue within a 995x537x283 µm EM volume resulting from a correlation- and feature-based deformable alignment of ~21 million raw ssTEM camera images.&quot;
