Synful

Synaptic Partner Detection in a Whole Fly Brain

overview of synful (Buhmann et al., 2021)

We developed an automatic method for synaptic partner identification in insect brains and use it to predict synaptic partners in a whole-brain electron microscopy dataset of the fruit fly. The predictions can be used to infer a connectivity graph with high accuracy, thus allowing fast identification of neural pathways. Our synapse predictions are available in the FlyWire FAFB volume.
