Clarifying the relationship between structure and function is important for understanding the brain. In Drosophila melanogaster, FlyEM and FlyWire electron microscopy-based connectome data and whole-brain calcium imaging data are available. We applied pre-processing methods from fMRI to whole-brain calcium imaging data and comprehensively investigated the optimal parameters. Then, we found that the FC-SC (functional and structural connectivity) correlation decreased linearly with region of interest count, and this trend was the same in flies and humans. We also developed a new, more robust method to quantify the degree of pre- and post-synaptic segregation and investigated this in the fly whole-brain. This revealed that many neurons have unsegregated synapses. We extracted highly unsegregated synapses and compared them with random-extracted null SC matrices. Their FC-SC correlation was significantly higher, indicating that these synapses contribute to FC well. Conversely, highly segregated-synapses showed significantly lower FC-SC correlation and contribute less to FC. Neurons with unsegregated synapses like non-spiking neurons are spread throughout the whole-brain, and they are thought to have a significant influence on FC.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
