A FLY HAS BEEN UPLOADED

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The entire neuronal diagram of the fruit-fly brain was mapped in 2024. Later research showed the map can be used to predict behavior. The brain map has now been uploaded into a digital environment. It's not a simulation - the fly's 'sensors' are being activated by the digital environment and the neurons are responding. The digital fly appears to behave in the digital environment in reasonably fly-like ways. A video that explains the yet-published experiment (with footage of the digital fly) is available in the article.
