Genetic driver lines that label a single pair of left-right homologous identified neurons are pivotal in relating circuit structure, as reconstructed from volume electron microscopy, to observations of circuit function and behaviour: the results of experiments done in one animal can be interpreted with little if any ambiguity on the basis of synaptic circuits mapped in another animal.

To make headway into the basics of neural circuit function, we propose to focus on small organisms for which (1) the complete wiring diagram can be obtained within a grant funding period; (2) the complete neural activity over time can be imaged with GCaMP in free or fictive behaviors; (3) each neuron can be genetically manipulated independently and reproducibly; (4) the electrical activity of individual neurons can be recorded with electrophysiology; and (5) high-throughput behavioral assays are routine.

This, in contrast with the magnitude of the nervous system of even small model organisms like the fruit fly Drosophila or the zebrafish larva, with over 100,000 neurons. We uncovered a somatosensory network in Drosophila larvae that encodes two escape behaviors through input-specific neuropeptide action. Changes in movement direction are evoked by command neurons in the brain that function on local motor circuits to control direction and timing of muscle movements. But any organism with a brain complete and fully functional yet smaller than about one cubic millimeter is now game for whole brain circuit mapping.
