title: The Flybrain Project.
abstract: The large amounts of neuroanatomical data and images that can be difficult to publish by conventional means because of the lack of space and financial constraints can now be made available electronically. The Flybrain Project represents a concerted effort to generate an on-line atlas and database for the structure and function of the Drosophila nervous system. In this article Heisenberg and Kaiser describe the background to the project and its aims for the future.
