A new map of a maggot's brain offers details about the wiring of neurons involved in learning — and could offer insights for powering AI in the same task.
Why it matters: The fly brain diagram will allow scientists to probe how the brain's hardware shapes behavior. It could also reveal circuits that evolved over hundreds of millions of years — and suggest ways to process information with less energy, a problem plaguing AI.
