Associative memory formation and recall in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is subserved by the mushroom body (MB). Upon arrival in the MB, sensory information undergoes a profound transformation, from broadly tuned and stereotyped odorant responses in the olfactory projection neuron (PN) layer, to narrowly tuned and nonstereotyped responses in the Kenyon cells (KCs). Theory and experiment suggest this transformation is implemented by random connectivity between KCs and PNs. However, this hypothesis has been challenging to test, given the difficulty of mapping synaptic connections between large numbers of brain-spanning neurons. Here we used a recent whole-brain electron microscopy volume of the adult fruit fly to map PN-to-KC connectivity at synaptic resolution. The PN-KC connectome revealed unexpected structure, with preponderantly food-responsive PN types converging at above-chance levels on downstream KCs. Axons of the overconvergent PN types tended to arborize near one another in the MB main calyx, making local KC dendrites more likely to receive input from those types. Overconvergent PN types preferentially co-arborize and connect with dendrites of αβ and α’β’ KC subtypes. Computational simulation of the observed network showed degraded discrimination performance compared to a random network, except when all signal flowed through the overconvergent, primarily food-responsive PN types. Additional theory and experiment will be needed to fully characterize the impact of the observed nonrandom network structure on associative memory formation and recall. By mapping synaptic connectivity in a whole-brain electron microscopy volume of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, Zheng et al. show that sensory input to a canonical associative memory circuit is not sampled at random. Rather, food-responsive olfactory projection neurons converge preferentially onto specific Kenyon cell subtypes.
