Dros. /larva/ connectome??

Where did it get that from? We're talking about an adult connectome.

These are going to be very different things, I'd expect (seeing as the larva's structure is completely broken down and rebuilt during pupation, and the larval and adult forms have different sensory and motor equipment, their brains pretty much /have to/ be different).

If this is a 'hallucination', and the article you provided is about the adult fly brain, this just reinforces my tendency to be highly skeptical of anything these LLMs say.
