The Virtual Neuro Lab
Built at Meta Global AI Developer Hackathon · Oct 26, 2026 · Remote

The Virtual Neuro Lab is a browser lab for running experiments on a complete, real fruit-fly brain, to understand how the brain works and what happens inside it when something changes: a taste, a touch, a lost neuron or a disease. Its purpose is to become a drug discovery lab, where ideas are tested on a virtual brain first, so bad ones are ruled out before they reach an animal or a person.
