Don’t miss out on the Neural Mechanisms of Acoustic Communication GRC - this May in Maine!
7 Mar 2024
1) Time to submit abstracts! The 2024 Neural Mechanisms of Acoustic Communication GRC is drawing closer. There's an awesome line-up of speakers working with birds, flies, monkeys, fish, snakes and more. Additional speakers will be selected from abstracts. Please spread the word!

How are neurons activated by sensory stimuli? For the past century, the only method for addressing this question has been neurophysiology.

This might make you think twice next time you reach for the fly swatter. The whole brain wiring diagram of the fly! All 140,000 neurons and their 50M synapses are available to explore in Codex, the Connectome Data Explorer: codex.flywire.ai/ #sfn23

We've updated our preprint on finding one-to-one mappings of DNN neurons and real visual neurons of fruit fly.
--> 2x silenced data with new LC31 neuron type
--> more LC neural recordings
--> FlyWire connectome
--> knockout training simulations
Enjoy!

Excited to share a new manuscript!
Deep nets are great at predicting visual neurons. Yet, they are unable to tell us which artificial neuron directly corresponds to a biological neuron… until now!

(yes, that is indeed a fictive female fly, good guess!)

Flies are highly visual animals. That’s obvious to anyone who has ever tried to swat one. So it should be no surprise that eyes are so prominent on the fly head.

By giving all #flyneuro labs access to the data when we began proofreading, science has proceeded alongside completion of the connectome. More papers highlighting the FlyWire resource coming soon … stay tuned!

The fly central brain synthesizes sensory stimuli into decisions and actions. For the first time, ALL 46,944 branched and far-reaching neurons of both hemispheres of the central brain have been reconstructed and are available via FlyWire. join.flywire.ai/

yessss it's #BINW22 !!
I'm Sama Ahmed, finishing my postdoc in the @MurthyLab at @PrincetonNeuro and starting my lab at @UWPsychology in 5 weeks !
We test how circuit interactions constrain behavior by studying how flies multitask !

Take a look at the first auditory connectome! New paper utilizing FlyWire from @Christa_A_Baker et al in @CurrentBiology: cell.com/current-biology/ful… Shoutout to @Drexel_Pretzel who created the drosophila serenade illustration in our graphical abstract. @MurthyLab

Also excited to announce that @BenjoCowley is starting his own lab @CSHL in the Fall. If you want to work on neural network models of the brain, this is the lab to join!
28 Jun 2022
Update of potential interest: I'll be starting a comp neuro group at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory @CSHL in Sept 2022!
Our group will build closed-loop machine learning techniques and interpretable, data-driven models to understand the step-by-step computations of the brain.

So proud of @Christa_A_Baker - get in touch to do a postdoc in the Baker lab @NCState - Christa is a fabulous mentor, scientist and role model and her lab will be a trailblazer in solving the neural mechanisms underlying acoustic communication in flies.
11 Jul 2022
Excited to share that the Baker Lab will open in Biological Sciences @NCState Jan 2023! We will dissect the neural mechanisms underlying hearing in flies, and how those mechanisms are shaped by evolution. Will be recruiting at all levels so please reach out if interested.
