FIELD NOTE / Research
Emulation of the Drosophila Fly Brain
One whole-brain LIF model, six compute backends, and a mountain of spike files.
README reviewedSource checked Sep 10, 2026
What’s going on here?
A FlyWire whole-brain LIF implementation supports activation and silencing experiments plus benchmark and parity workflows across Brian2, PyTorch, NEST GPU, GeNN, and related backends.
THE IMPORTANT BIT
Where the wiring ends,
and the model begins.
Backend agreement checks implementation parity, not biological validation; the README's cited model result is not a companion paper for this fork.
