Complex neural networks consist of many neurons with distinct identities. Though it is long appreciated that the enormous neural diversity arises in spatiotemporally patterned manners, the exact underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear even in the relatively trackable Drosophila brain. We map cell lineages and then track changes in gene expressions and genome states along actual cell lineages to see how the genome encodes brain connectome.
