Virtual Fly Brain
Search Virtual Fly Brain for Drosophila neuroanatomy: named neuron types and brain regions from the FlyBase anatomy ontology (with synonyms and FBbt ids), and the individual reconstructed neurons of the published connectomes — the Janelia hemibrain, FlyWire's whole female brain and the complete male central nervous system (MaleCNS, 167,000 neurons) — each with its dataset and body id, neurotransmitter, lineage and a link to the VFB 3D browser. Use for fly connectome and neuroanatomy questions: 'which neurons are MBON01 in the male CNS', 'what is a Kenyon cell', 'dopaminergic PAM neurons'. It returns identities and classifications, not synapse counts or partner lists — those need neuPrint or FlyWire Codex accounts, so say so rather than inventing numbers; cite the FlyBase ontology term for definitions and the connectome paper for the dataset.
