Fruit Fly Brain Redux: Readers' Favorites?

My recent posting, The Fruit Fly Brain Atlas Emerges generated quite a bit of interest from readers, perhaps because most of us are visual learners, including myself. One reader's comment reminded me how fun it was to explore the FlyCircuit database. It's easy to register; once you're in, you can not only browse the more than 16,000 neurons (I know...) but you can view 3D movies. I invite readers to send me via email your favorite image or movie, and why, and I'll post a future article compiling them. I think this will be fun!
