Hierarchical communities in the larval Drosophila connectome: Links to cellular annotations and network topology

Scientists studying fruit fly larval brains discovered that neurons are organized into nested groups or communities, much like departments within a company. These communities perfectly match what scientists knew about neuron types and their functions. Remarkably, certain interneurons act as hubs connecting these different communities, allowing information to flow between specialized brain regions. This organization reveals that the brain’s wiring reflects both its structure and its function.
