Eye and brain: FlyWire FAFB v783, public data, Dorkenwald et al. and Schlegel et al., Nature 2024; optic lobe types Matsliah et al., Nature 2024. Column cells chosen by strongest synaptic partner along the chain; HS, VS and LC11 typed from Codex's FAFB v783 annotations, one representative each; the optical flow chapter answers a question from @Samrn888 on X. Neck and body: BANC v888, Bates, Phelps, Kim, Yang et al., Nature 2026. Two animals, matched by cell type. Body: NeuroMechFly, Apache-2.0; brains placed in it by hand; the BANC's neck connective is bent to fit the neck, since the dissected tissue does not keep its shape there. Interface: scifi-ui.
