The First Multi-Behavior Brain Upload

Dr. Alex Wissner-Gross announces Eon Systems' breakthrough: the first whole-brain emulation of a fruit fly, using a 2024 Nature model's 125,000 neurons and 50 million synapses to drive multiple behaviors in a MuJoCo-simulated body, closing the sensorimotor loop.

Unlike prior disembodied models or RL-based animations, this connectome-derived emulation produces naturalistic actions from biological wiring, marking a qualitative shift toward scalable brain engineering.

Replies highlight its validation of scaling insect brains to human-level intelligence for AGI, with Eon targeting mouse emulation next using expansion microscopy and imaging data for 70 million neurons. Sources: X Article
