Brain state locks silent memories in a trained fly connectome
Complete connectomes now exist for insect nervous systems, but whether a fixed wiring diagram can learn, and what its memories consist of, is unknown. Here, we trained a spiking model of the whole male Drosophila central nervous system, 167,106 neurons with fixed wiring, to plan moves and to remember a visual cue. Spikes write the cue into neuronal adaptation, which holds it silently until the…
