A simulated fruit-fly brain with 138,639 neurons mapped from the FlyWire connectome plays the grand strategy game Open Doctrines in real-time in a browser. The brain receives sensory inputs based on game events and produces commands that control a country's actions, though it performs poorly at strategy since it evolved for survival, not governance.
Fly.exe is a neural simulator that runs a complete male fruit fly brain connectome (165,122 neurons and 25.5 million synaptic connections) in a physics-based virtual environment on a single GPU. Twelve simulated flies with embodied neural circuits navigate a virtual arena with food and obstacles, demonstrating goal-directed behavior driven purely by their connectome-based neural networks without explicit steering rules.
soup-connectome is a portable runtime for executing the fruit-fly connectome across CPU, CUDA, WebGPU, and WASM using sparse graph streaming and deterministic LIF neuron semantics. The project converts MaleCNS connectome data (211,577 neurons, 24.7M edges) into portable .scx artifacts and demonstrates reproducible execution across multiple backends with explicit device planning.
X trending discussion from September 13, 2026 features Bitcoin price predictions, crypto-backed mortgages, and an unusual experiment where developers simulated a fruit fly's connectome and connected it to video games and Bitcoin trading.
A memecoin on Robinhood Chain gained attention by simulating a fruit fly brain connectome—a real scientific dataset published by Google Research and others in September 2026—inside a digital environment. The token leveraged genuine neuroscience research to create an internet meme narrative, rising to $50M market cap before correcting to $25–30M, though the simulation uses a filtered dataset of 10.2M connections rather than the full 125M synapses.
A simulated fruit fly brain with 165,122 neurons and 10 million synaptic connections was connected to a token launchpad on Robinhood Chain, launching the memecoin $FLYBRAIN which reached $50M market cap and generated $106,600 in fees within hours. The project, built by @fruitflydev using real Drosophila connectome data, demonstrated an unusual application of neuroscience to cryptocurrency, though the system's reliance on a local computer made it vulnerable to power outages.
Robinhood Chain's token gained attention after reaching $50M market cap before correcting to $25-30M. The token's narrative is based on real neuroscience research published in September 2026 by Google Research and others mapping a fruit fly's brain connectome with 125M synapses. Developers created simulations placing this connectome in games like Minecraft and Doom, which went viral as an internet meme, leading to the token launch on Robinhood Chain paired with GOOGL.
Social media posts discuss the Robinhood blockchain network and a collaboration featuring OpenCatz NFTs on the chain. Separate posts highlight activity on Robinhood Chain, real-world asset adoption, and analyze a token tied to a fruit fly connectome simulation project based on recent neuroscience research from Google and other institutions.
Robinhood Chain announced a collaboration with Opencatz, an on-chain NFT project featuring 24×24 pixel cats with AI utility on the Robinhood blockchain. The token gained significant attention after developers simulated a fruit fly's connectome (based on recent neuroscience research mapping 125M synapses) in gaming environments, creating viral internet meme potential around the concept of a 'fly brain' interacting with digital systems.
