The wiring diagram and its supporting files amount to 1.6 petabytes’ worth of data. The map traces more than 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) of tangled-up axons, the fibers that serve as the “wiring ...

The only previous complete wiring diagram, which mapped all of the connections between the 302 neurons found in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, was reported in 1986 and required more than a dozen ...

"This work increases understanding of how neural wiring diagrams control hunger. We had previously uncovered a key set of upstream neurons that physically synapse onto and excite AgRP hunger neurons.
