- Researchers simulated a fruit fly brain inside Minecraft, per an x.com post — a visualization angle absent from the other outlets' framing.
- The fruit fly brain has been mapped in full for the second time, described by Ars Technica as a 'connectomics milestone' and by Google Research as the complete male brain map.
Why it matters: This is the second full connectome ever completed for any species, per Ars Technica and Google Research — a neuroscience benchmark now paired with a Minecraft-based visualization that makes the data accessible beyond research circles.
