My PhD project is out as a preprint!
We combined 2P and synchrotron X-ray to understand mouse olfactory bulb circuits, linking physiology to structure in 3 animals! doi.org/10.1101/2025.04.24.6…

Hi @SfNtweets,
Neurons of the same olfactory circuit in the mammalian brain share firing properties while showing individual traits.
More about it today PM, poster E37 (PSTR341.09).

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!

Take-off! Scientists discover the neural circuits that coordinate leg and wing movements in fruit flies.🪰
This could lead to a better understanding of how the nervous system senses and controls the body. Out in @Nature

📣 We're excited to announce the opening of multiple faculty positions!
Do you use and/or develop artificial intelligence methods and mechanistic mathematical models to address fundamental questions in biology?
We'd love to hear from you.
(Please share far and wide 🙏)
