Brain-to-Body Switchboard

A browser map of the output side of the male CNS connectome: pick one of 481 descending neuron types and see which of eleven motor pools - 815 cells covering eight body areas - it reaches within three synapses, with synapse counts and input share. Excitation and inhibition come from transmitters predicted off the EM images, which the site calls predictions, not measurements, naming glutamate as the weak point. Against seven published neurons the wiring matches five; the LIF view, on a 49,448-neuron subset at 0.08 mV against Shiu's 0.275 mV, reproduces two at 75 spikes/s and five at 150.
