FlyWire released a DIY guide (Google Docs) for building your own fly simulator on the BANC connectome — the full brain plus CNS of a female fly, 160k neurons. The team's suggested shortcut: point your AI agent at the doc and let it follow the instructions. An accessible entry point for anyone at the neuroscience-AI intersection to reproduce whole-brain simulation.
