*Abstract: *In 2023, the FlyWire Consortium released the neuronal wiring
diagram of an adult fly brain. This contains as a corollary the first
complete wiring diagram of a visual system, which has been used to identify
all 200+ cell types that are intrinsic to the Drosophila optic lobe. About
half of these cell types were previously unknown, and less than 20% have
ever been recorded by a physiologist. I will argue that plausible functions
for many cell types can be guessed by interpreting the wiring diagram.

*About VVTNS : Launched as the World Wide  Theoretical Neuroscience Seminar
(WWTNS) in November 2020 and renamed in homage to Carl van Vreeswijk in
Memoriam (April 20, 2022), Speakers have the occasion to talk about
theoretical aspects of their work which cannot be discussed in a setting
where the majority of the audience consists of experimentalists. The
seminars, **held on Wednesdays at 11 am ET,**  are 45-50 min long followed
by a discussion. The talks are recorded with authorization of the speaker
and are available to everybody on our YouTube channel.*
