    I apologize in advance, but this is my one pre-existing contribution to the world that mentions mapping of Drosophilia brains, and having just used it in its intended "copypasta" role this morning, I was excited to coincidentally see this Emulation link on HN this morning.

    It is ludicrously-escalating grotesque sci-fi (intended for sending over SMS), so you can safely skip it if that's not your cup of tea.

    I wonder if they’re just activating small parts of the brain at once. It seems to me that they aren’t simulating every single neuron at all times, and I do not see being able to run the model in real time. Are they also modelling the ventral nerve cord for the walking?

    this begs the question... how are we seeing life patterns appear from that?
