aravpanwar/amfly

Five fruit flies pinned to electric pins. A sixth fly, wired into a reward-punishment loop, decides which two get current, gets dopamine when one maxes out, and burns when the others go cold. Six copies of the MaleCNS connectome, 166,700 neurons each, bit-identical until something is done to them.
