HOLY S*HT! Humanity is losing to a dead fly's brain. How crazy is that? I wonder how we'll do when game 2 is out. We're gonna get SWARMED!

Did you know a fruit fly can make incredibly fast decisions with a brain smaller than a poppy seed? It can detect threats, navigate, find food, court, fight and learn — using a nervous system tiny enough for scientists to map neuron by neuron. That’s part of what makes the connectome so fascinating. humanvsbrain.com

Can you beat these tiny insects? A fruit fly is only a few millimetres long. Give one a rotten apple and 25 days, and things escalate quickly. And inside that tiny head is a nervous system we can now map and and play against. Human vs Brain.

Humans have 86 billion neurons. A fruit fly has a tiny fraction of that. Seems unfair. For the fly. Until it beats your reaction time. 🧠 Human vs Brain
