Higgsfield artwork, not microscopy data. The butterfly is a visual identity; the learning circuit uses a Drosophila larval subset.

SPECIMEN 001 · IMAGO · FIRST PLATE

A small brain.A living memory.

One organism. One shared environment. Every visitor who feeds or stings it leaves a mark the next visitor inherits.

KC → MBON · DOPAMINE-GATED PLASTICITY

Anatomy is fixed.Experience is not.

The wiring comes from a published Drosophila larval connectome subset. Only KC-to-MBON gains change when sensory activity and teaching signals coincide.

02THE CIRCUITWinding et al. 2023

A dense constellation of glowing neurons and filaments in the lobed shape of an insect brain. — It doesn’t know the market.It knows how it felt.
Inside the learning circuit
A 32-neuron, 289-edge subset of the larval mushroom body. Sensory Kenyon cells encode the pattern, dopaminergic neurons carry your verdict, and the output neurons hold the result as approach or avoidance.

One organism.Every holder.

ButterflyBrain is built to be embedded on the Ponsfamily token page. One server owns one brain; every visitor sees the same memory at the same moment.
