Janelia shares ‘greatest hits’ of tools to study the fly brain

Janelia’s FlyLight Project Team, which has worked for more than a decade to create tools to study the fly brain, is making a core collection of their best genetically engineered fly strains available to researchers worldwide through the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center.
The brain images of these flies, along with hundreds of thousands of images from thousands of additional fly lines, are also now freely accessible through Janelia websites.
This video shows light microscopy images of some of the top split-GAL4 lines that express specific cell types. Images were created by averaging together one or more aligned images for each line. The color indicates depth in the brain.
