SummaryAnimal behavior arises from computations in neuronal circuits, but our understanding of these computations has been frustrated by the lack of detailed synaptic connection maps, or connectomes. For example, despite intensive investigations over half a century, the neuronal implementation of local motion detection in the insect visual system remains elusive. Here, we developed a semi-automated pipeline using electron microscopy to reconstruct a connectome, containing 379 neurons and 8,637 chemical synaptic contacts, within the Drosophila optic medulla. By matching reconstructed neurons to examples from light microscopy, we assigned neurons to cell types and assembled a connectome of the medulla's repeating module. Within this module, we identified cell types constituting a motion detection circuit and showed that the connections onto individual motion-sensitive neurons in this circuit were consistent with their direction selectivity. Our results identify cellular targets for future functional investigations, and demonstrate that connectomes can provide key insights into neuronal computations.

Introduction 7 1 -1tends to zero as r^-1 for every 0=|=Omod27r, and P (r,9) clearly satisfies condition (ii) above.Secondly, if condition (ii) above is weakened by replacing 'o' by '0', the conclusion of the above theorem does not hold. For dP{r,6)ld6 = -£ nr n sinn6 7 1 = 1 tends to zero as r-> 1 for every 6.
