2. Fruit Fly Connectome

Google Research reports a complete wiring map of the male fruit fly brain and central nervous system. The project, done with HHMI Janelia and collaborators and published in Cell, used electron-microscope images, artificial intelligence, and human checking to reconstruct neural circuits.

3. Mouse Social Roles

This story from PNAS is about pairs of apparently identical mice that spontaneously settle into leader and follower roles while working together. The report says the animals kept those same roles across multiple rounds, suggesting that stable social behavior can emerge even when the mice appear similar at the outset.
