There is a recent paper, The Connectome of an Insect Brain, submitting a 12-year effort to map the brain of the larval fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, showing "3,016 neurons and 548,000 synapses." The high-resolution imaging project was useful to "identifying neuron types, network hubs and circuit motifs."
