352 | Bing Brunton on Connecting the Connectome to the Body
Bing Brunton, neuroscientist and UW professor who maps connectomes, discusses linking wiring diagrams to body movement. She explains how fruit-fly connectomes reveal circuits for walking, how tiny rhythm-generating networks can drive limbs, and why embedding neural maps in simulated bodies and real flies helps test predictions. The conversation touches on limits, validation experiments, and implications for embodiment and rehabilitation.
