Connectome Wiring Shapes Motor Lesion Phenotypes in Embodied Drosophila Locomotion
A central controversy in computational neuroscience—recently formalized as The Digital Sphinx debate (Brunton,Abe, Hu, & Tuthill, 2026)—asserts that deep reinforcement learning (DRL) can optimize arbitrary artificial neural networktopologies to generate realistic animal locomotion. Consequently, high-level behavioral r...
