Tools and data we share
These are the tools, maps and data the lab has built and shared. Each entry links to the resource and, where there is one, to its source repository.
Connectome explorers and galleries
-
Male CNS Cell Type Explorer
Every cell type in the complete male central nervous system, 11,751 types and 164,838 neurons, with morphology, connectivity and spatial coverage. It includes and supersedes the optic lobe explorer.
-
Optic Lobe Cell Type Explorer
The original explorer for the optic lobe, companion to Nern et al. 2025. Now superseded by the Male CNS explorer, which covers the same cell types in the full connectome.
-
Female Adult Fly Brain Cell Type Explorer
Cell types of the FlyWire female brain (FAFB v783b), in the same format as the other explorers.
-
Visual pathways galleries
Cell-type pages for visual projection neurons and visual central brain neurons, with input barcodes and predicted receptive fields. Companion to Hoeller et al. 2026.
-
neuDiff
Compare two cell types side by side.
-
Cell type videos
A rendered video for each optic lobe cell type, on the lab's YouTube channel.
Displays and rigs
-
Modular LED Displays
Documentation for the G3, G4 and G6 generations of LED arena displays for visual neuroscience: hardware, firmware and software.
-
Display web tools
Browser-based Pattern Designer, Arena Studio, arena layout and 3D view, and a WebUSB flash programmer for G6 panels.
-
Fly Lab Gear
Open hardware for fly experiments: spherical treadmill, tethering station, fly holders, sarcophagus, and more, as 3D-print, laser-cut and PCB files.
Software and analysis code
-
maDisplayTools
MATLAB tools for G4 and later displays.
-
neuView
The static page generator behind the Cell Type Explorers.
-
Paper code
Analysis code for individual papers (eye map, LC6, T5 conductance model, optic lobe connectome) on the lab's GitHub.
Datasets
-
