Big day for neuroscience & the end of the beginning for whole brain connectomics. Shout out to @sdorkenw and Philipp Schlegel, first authors of the connectome papers, @MurthyLab @SebastianSeung for establishing #flywire to make this possible and @dddavi for birthing this dataset.

Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature. This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium! nature.com/immersive/d428… Check out the thread for an overview of the 9 #flywire papers published today

This animated cover was not chosen by @CellCellPress but the concept came out so cool I had to share! Check out the thread below for new paper ft AI-driven neurotransmitter classification of all neurons in the fly connectome. Explore the fruits of this labor at…

The fly has a full #connectome, basically a directed + weighted graph. But what are its connection ‘signs’, excitatory/inhibitory? We move towards this answer, predicting transmitters from EM! w/@BobQubit, vid @amyneurons, 1/n Published @CellCellPress: cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Very happy to share that @rituja14's work on the nutritional state-dependent modulation of #insulin-producing cells in #Drosophila is out on bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Rituja was the 1st person to join the lab and it’s a privilege to accompany her on her PhD journey.

I am excited to share that our preprint “Nutritional state-dependent modulation of Insulin-Producing Cells in Drosophila” is now available on BioRxiv. A thread🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
