2023 full connectome published on <Science (journal)> by Marta Zlatic's lab at the <MRC>:

As of 2022, it had been almost fully decoded by <post mortem connectome extraction with microtome>!!! 135k <neurons>.

	That article mentions the humongous paper https://elifesciences.org/articles/66039 https://elifesciences.org/articles/66039 "A connectome of the Drosophila central complex reveals network motifs suitable for flexible navigation and context-dependent action selection" by a group from <Janelia Research Campus>. THe paper is so large that it makes <eLife> hang.
