  "summary": "Focal neuronal loss after stroke, traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury can disrupt circuits and result in persistent motor deficits. Which cells and connections must be restored to recover a specific behavior is difficult to establish experimentally. Here we use a connectome-constrained spiking model of the fruit-fly nervous system and decode motor-neuron output to simulate visually…",
