Meet Eyewire II: a new connectomic resource for the mouse retina.
~1 mm² of retina at nm resolution, with synapses and circuits of ca. 100,000 neurons visual responses from the ~400 neurons shown in the video!

Research to Prevent Blindness (RPB) recently announced that a first-of-its-kind $950,000 RPB Transformational Team Science Award has been made to the @eye_wire II project. According to Gregory Schwartz, PhD, Eyewire II will create an open-source data resource that will be available to the entire research field, with particular relevance to work in neuroscience and vision science.@NUFeinbergMed

We are delighted to announce that thanks to generous support from Research to Prevent Blindness @RPB_org, Eyewire II is now officially underway!
RPB has granted @NUFeinbergMed a $950,000 RPB Transformational Team Science Award to support the @eye_wire II project to create the first complete connectome in the mammalian central nervous system with @Princeton and University of Tübingen. bit.ly/RPBTTSA
ALT This render shows 370 retinal cells that compute visual information, such as motion. Many of these cells send information from the back of the eye directly into the brain. These cells are part of Eyewire 2, which is building the world’s largest synapse resolution retinal connectomics dataset to help decipher the cells and circuits that make vision possible.

Feast your eyes on this newly discovered cell type: the bistratified huntsman. It prefers dark, spooky visual stimuli.
Tricks and a few treats from eyewire.org. Happy Halloween! #citizenscience
