Fig. 3: Wiring diagram of cell types—top input and output connections.

From: Neuronal parts list and wiring diagram for a visual system

Fig. 3

Simplified wiring diagram of all cell types intrinsic to the optic lobe and photoreceptors, showing only the top input and output connections of each type. Colours of types (nodes) indicate membership in flat clusters of Fig. 2c. The node size encodes the number of drawn connections, so that hub types look larger. The node shape encodes type numerosity (number of cells). The line colour encodes the relationship (top input versus top output) and the line width is proportional to the number of synapses. The line arrowhead shapes encode excitation (excit.) versus inhibition (inhib.). Further explanation is provided in the Methods.
