We’ve generated a synapse-resolution map of an insect brain, includes 3016 neurons and half a million synaptic sites! Out today in Science science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… Summary below and in @bpedigod’s thread. @ZlaticLab, @albertcardona, @neuro_data, Carey Priebe, and many others

We're using AI to map circuitry across entire brains! Beautiful work by @MohintaSamia has converted existing training data to match our samples. This allows us to trace neurons instantly, in what used to take years of painstaking work In development: github.com/Mohinta2892/caten…

We have an opening for a postdoctoral clinical fellow. Candidates should have a PhD clinical degree (medical, veterinary, etc.) with previous clinical post. Help us study how genes related to psychiatric disorders affect brain wiring and social behaviour! Apply by 30 April...

We have an open postdoc position! Apply here: crick.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/… Following up on the first brain map of an insect brain (science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…), we will be using comparative connectomics to investigate how wiring changes affect social behaviour in the fruit fly larva.

Come help us analyse how synapse-resolution circuitry changes across an entire brain after environmental or genetic manipulation. @TheCrick provides a supportive environment for postdocs, providing the perfect launchpad for your career!

1/ 🤖 New paper hot off the press 🐜 Automated behavioural analysis using machine learning is great, but still needs lots of effort to curate training data. What if a computer could generate that data for you? Say hello to replicAnt nature.com/articles/s41467-0… #OpenSource

Excited to share the first preprint from my lab. A connectome guided effort spanning modeling, behavior and functional imaging that led to uncovering fundamental circuit mechanisms for implementing halting in flies. doi.org/10.1101/2023.09.25.5…

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! tinyurl.com/5n7t6tpv

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! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (yes, that is indeed a fictive female fly, good guess!)
