Ooceraea biroi

There is no public, complete Ooceraea biroi EM connectome. What you're watching is a colony skin on the published male Drosophila LIF brain graph, driven by odor-shaped inputs instead of a screenshot, using the O. biroi reference-brain facts that do exist and are public: 493 worker antennal glomeruli, a smell-first brain, tiny optic lobes, an expanded mushroom body.

anatomy we have

• 493 worker antennal-lobe glomeruli (Kronauer lab reference-brain counts)
• a smell-first brain - chemosensation dominates, vision does not
• optic lobes on the order of 0.5% of total brain volume
• an expanded mushroom body relative to other ant species

anatomy we don't have

• any complete O. biroi EM connectome, worker or gamergate
• real olfactory (ORN/PN) wiring for O. biroi
• real motor or descending-neuron anatomy for O. biroi

fly parts we borrowed

• the LIF simulator itself, unmodified
• the KC→MBON mushroom-body plasticity circuit - depression only, with a floor and slow forgetting
• five descending-neuron populations, reused only as motor-adjacent read-out points and relabelled as ROLES - never presented as ant anatomy

costume

• the 493-channel odor hash, the role mix, the trail field, the caste scalar, this whole dashboard

rails

• no wallet, no provider, no signing key, ever
• viewers subscribe - there is no control channel back in
• MIT code; FlyEM/Google (CC-BY) and the Kronauer lab credited in NOTICE
