Founders and Funders

• FlyWire is created at Princeton University, with support from the US Brain Initiative (grants MH117815, MH129268 and U24 NS126935 to Murthy and Seung)
• Proofreading and annotation of the FlyWire Connectome has been carried out by a community of scientists worldwide
• FlyWire Consortium member labs and scientific steering group are listed here
• Completeness and accuracy of the connectome annotations are still improving, and are updated in Codex ~weekly

Data Sources

• Cell segments were auto-generated from electron-microscopy images with AI
• Cell reconstructions were assembled from segments (proofread) by the FlyWire community (see FlyWire)
• Synaptic connections were automatically detected using the Buhmann et al. method and refined with synapse segmentations from Heinrich et al.
• Free-form labels (cell identification tags) were provided by the FlyWire community - see the labeling leaderboard and detailed credits in each cell info page
• Hierarchical annotations (side, flow, super class, cell class, cell type, Hemibrain type, nerve and hemi-lineage) were provided by Schlegel et al. (Jefferis lab)
• Neurotransmitter types were predicted by Eckstein, Bates et al.
• Morphological similarity scores (NBLAST based) were computed for the central brain cells by Philipp Schlegel
