DESCRIPTION:A complete wiring diagram\, or connectome\, of the Drosophila 
 central nervous system will soon be available\, providing the first glimps
 e of synaptic-level connectivity of the brain of an animal with sophistica
 ted behavior. I will briefly review the series of technical advances that 
 made this possible\, and what obstacles remain to be overcome before the c
 onnectomes of larger animals can be pursued. Then I will discuss the chall
 enge of how to use the wiring diagram—together with light microscopy\, g
 enetically targeted physiology and perturbation during behavior—to under
 stand the neural basis of associative learning\, perception\, sleep\, navi
 gation and more.
