Synaptic counts approximate synaptic contact area in Drosophila

The pattern of synaptic connections among neurons defines the circuit structure, which constrains the computations that a circuit can perform. The strength of synaptic connections is costly to measure yet important for accurate circuit modeling. It has been shown that synaptic surface area correlates with synaptic strength, yet in the emerging field of connectomics, most studies rely instead on…
