问题

How to use a real fruit fly connectome to play tic‑tac‑toe.

结果

The FlyCNS‑TicTacToe agent can play tic‑tac‑toe using real fly neural wiring; with minimax it is unbeatable, without it the fly alone loses.

工作流

• Select neurons that send motor commands and their central brain inputs.
• Use the connectome data for connectivity, synapse counts, and neurotransmitter predictions.
• Map each of the 9 tic‑tac‑toe squares to a group of output neurons and each player’s mark to a group of input neurons.
• Simulate signal flow through the network to determine activity levels for each square.
• Choose the square with the strongest activity as the fly’s move; if minimax is enabled, filter the fly’s choice to the best minimax moves.
• Play the game from the terminal.
• Optionally run the pipeline once to build the circuit before playing.

证据

Scientists have mapped the whole nervous system of a fruit fly: every neuron and every connection, in a public database called a connectome.

Python, neuprint-python, networkx and pandas do the work.
