Oops I totally missed that - that’s what I get for flying with too little sleep. Thanks, I’ll fix it!
Found the U.S.S. Drosophila, our first neural aircraft carrier!

is the cables type at the end of presentation really complete cells without soma?

The “cables” are JO-type sensory neurons. In the fruit fly, the ear is comprised of the antennal receiver and hearing organ called the Johnston’s organ (JO). Sensory neurons such as these are entering from outside of our dataset (you can see this if you bring up the brain mesh). So these neurons are as “complete” as we can make them since the somas are outside of the dataset.
In the Optic Lobe, you may encounter a similar-looking axon cable that is the retinula (R) neuron that has its soma outside of the dataset.

Funny enough I just finished a cell exactly like this as well

I’m curious about these two cells - they seem to be the same type, but mostly grow inside the gaps left by the other.

What do you do when you find a band of somas? Why, turn a bunch of them on and take screenshots! FlyWire
Silly as it might seem I haven’t paid too much attention to the soma cluster locations in the brain, but when I noticed there was a discernable band, I had to play around and see how they interacted.

Growing a garden of type T1 cells…b/c they’re awesome, and they like to party! 
The view linked below contains several examples of the unique soma structure, associated with these cells, which I now affectionately refer to as “Hot crazy mess” somas.

And here is my very own gardening project, meticulously pruned and grown, lol.
its not one specific type but specific area(s), trying to eliminate CBs to (hopefully/maybe) find 1-2 cbs to cells that are in the q/a sheet (my cells) that are w/o cells bodies. I figure i finish out all other cells and i find 1-# that dont connect to a cell then they are in the same area they’ll probs connect to one of my cells which are in the same area…lol

Whoa! That’s more like a full-scale farming operation! …with combine harvesters and everything, lol.
Meanwhile, I’m still tending to my little T1 garden, with a hand trowel and a water bucket.

lol! ngl that made me chuckle.
Forgot to add a link to my ‘farm’, lol.

i have been farming some L1 cells but while doing that i found this jewel in the field, and ofc i had to use quite a bit of time to make sure all the branches was healthy.

Found a multilane highway of an axon, PLUS my new favorite cell type to trace. Splits from 1 to 9!
