A simplified mesh3d object representing the brain neuropil volume from the BANC connectome dataset. This mesh has been decimated to approximately 50% of its original face count for efficient visualisation.
Format
A mesh3d object containing vertices and faces defining the 3D surface of the Drosophila brain neuropil.
Source
BANC connectome dataset, decimated using Rvcg::vcgQEdecim.
