Caption
Navigating through a hi-res 3D image of the fruit fly brain. The colored balls indicate the density of synapses on a subset of the neurons in the brain: those that respond to dopamine. The balls summarize the placement of a total of 500,000 synapses, out of 40 million in the entire brain, where red indicates the highest synapse density, purple the lowest. Various brain structures are highlighted.
