Abstract
This study presents the first densely-reconstructed connectome for the ventral nerve cord (VNC) of a male Drosophila. The VNC connectome, referred to as MANC, captures the synaptic connectivity of approximately 23 thousand traced neurons, revealing the detailed structure and connectivity of premotor circuits that guide behavior in Drosophila. This dataset will be instrumental in understanding how the brain translates neural signals into motor commands.
