FlyWire: Online community for whole-brain connectomics biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Drosophila neuroscientists, join the new community at FlyWire.ai to trace your brain circuits! Together with Sebastian Seung and the amazing FlyWire research team, we segmented all the cells in a whole-brain EM stack by AI. 1/n

Check out our latest work on Drosophila auditory circuits led by Christa Baker – how is song feature detection generated? What happens in between early auditory circuits and higher-order feature detectors? biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/6

Well-deserved!

Check out our paper now out Nature Neuroscience mapping the functional organization of auditory activity in the Drosophila brain across trials, animals, and sexes - spoiler alert: most of the brain is auditory. Congrats Diego A. Pacheco Pinedo and co-authors! nature.com/articles/s4159…

The first preprint from the Aronov lab is online! Using food-caching birds, a new model system for hippocampal memory, we find that place cells and SWRs exist in the avian hippocampus, despite 310 million years of divergent evolution (1/n) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our recent work from Murthy Lab led by Dudi Deutsch out in eLife - the journal We leverage connectomics, whole-brain imaging, and precise neural perturbations during behavior to link circuit architecture with physiology and social state. elifesciences.org/articles/59502

I am excited to share a new paper from the lab led by postdoc Fred Roemschied! We discover how the nervous system of Drosophila mediates a context-dependent switch in motor behavior critical for social communication. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share that Dudi Deutsch will launch the Deutsch lab this summer deutschlab.haifa.ac.il. Dudi has done beautiful work on connectomics, persistent internal states, and sensorimotor transformations in the female fly brain and is a phenomenal mentor - apply for a postdoc!

Was a lot of fun to write this review with Tomomi Karigo - learned a lot! Flexibility of neural circuits regulating mating behaviors in mice and flies frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Excited to announce the completion of the first adult brain connectome - FlyWire is the neuronal wiring diagram of a Drosophila melanogaster brain with >130K neurons and >32M synapses. Explore at codex.flywire.ai. Check out the preprints:

One quick teaser - Dudi Deutsch and Kaiyu Wang identified nearly all sexually-dimorphic neurons brainwide - now possible to trace information flow for social communication and female-specific behaviors. Here is a subset of fru/dsx neurons (render from Albert Lin):

As an alum of The Cooper Union I'm deeply saddened. I hope the steps are taken to make students feel safe in the campus that gave me so much.

Please read the entire thread.

Thank you dear Nancy for skipping these genocidal chants, our kidnapped civilians in Gaza feel so much better now, knowing that you ONLY participate in hateful protests. Spare us the bs, everybody on the planet knows what these chants mean #HamasislSIS

After a decade of heroic effort,HHMI | Janelia FlyLight and collaborators have released the best 3,063 split-GAL4 lines we identified through testing ~77,000 combinations. The release also includes a treasure trove of image data, including images of 129,665 individual fly brains!
