Sigh.

So it turns out we've mapped the neural connectome of Drosophila *and simulated it in silico*.

Key quote: "The step from a complete connectome to a working computational brain model is not trivial." And there's an even more important finding in this screenshot (alt text via OCR):

"The wiring is the computation".
