Neural Circuits and Behaviour in Drosophila @MRC_LMB. PI @flyconnectome @CamZoology and @virtualflybrain. Tweets my own.
Building the FlyWire #connectome from the FAFB brain was a massive team effort. But neuroscientists need to find their favourite neurons in this huge dataset. We report an indexed parts list, systematically annotating all 127k neurons (Schlegel et al biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) 1/7
We are releasing a whole-brain connectome of the fruit fly, including ~130k annotated neurons and tens of millions of typed synapses! Explore the connectome: codex.flywire.ai Reconstruction paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Annotation paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/6
What could a UK National Data Library look like? 📊 This is the subject of our new Technical White Paper Challenge with @ESRC. We’re seeking technical visions that could make it easier for researchers to access public sector datasets, helping future science to thrive. [1/3]
Wouldn't it be great if we could not only image large connectomic volumes, but also completely reconstruct them? And if a whole mouse brain project didn't cost billions? With the PATHFINDER preprint (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…), we preview a future where it doesn't have to.
