For years, we could only explore neural circuits in tiny areas of the🧠brain. Now the ESRF is bringing about a revolution in connectomics. Meet Alexandra Pacureanu ,European Research Council (ERC) grantee using the ESRF for #brain studies. #HumansofESRF #NewSeries EU Science & Innovation 🇪🇺 ▶️bit.ly/3ZvVtaR

Postdoc opening - develop new staining methods to push X-ray connectomics - great collaboration with Alexandra Pacureanu European Synchrotron and Carles Bosch and Jeannine Hess The Francis Crick Institute and Adrian A. Wanner PSI Paul Scherrer Institut - please RT for chemists, neuroscientists ...

Today we're releasing the Segment Anything Model (SAM) — a step toward the first foundation model for image segmentation. SAM is capable of one-click segmentation of any object from any photo or video + zero-shot transfer to other segmentation tasks ➡️ bit.ly/433YuBI

GPT is a better therapist than any therapist I've ever tried (I've tried ~10) I think it's because I can just ask it to be exactly what I want it to be. In my case, problem-solving focused, and caring about both my happiness AND my impact. Usually therapists mostly care about my

What an absolutely incredible ending to the World Chess Championship – a day for the history books for sure! #Chess #NepoDing

So happy to hear this great news from Aaron Kuan! Can’t wait to see what discoveries come from the lab!

Exciting news! ✨🐣 We just released a new AI-based quick segment feature in WEBKNOSSOS! The new feature is powered by @MetaAI's Segment Anything Model. Simply draw a bounding box to automatically segment complex objects. 🚀 Try it now on webknossos.org for free!

I’m very excited about this new research direction!

Scientists from @MRC_LMB and ESRF are looking into the connections of the neural system of squids🦑. Why squids? Find out in the video... #EBSstories ▶️bit.ly/3C5xXI6 Alexandra Pacureanu Albert Cardona @[email protected] ID16A@ESRF lightsources.org

Extremely excited to share the wiring diagram for the neurons that control fruit fly's legs and wings – the first motor neuron connectome in any limbed animal! Collaborating with @casa_tuthill and his lab members on this has been a fantastic experience.

How do animals sense forces to control locomotion, and what can we learn from robotics? @yelzebub Julie Simpson Claire Wyart Kaushik Jayaram and I highlighted exciting research directions [email protected]: academic.oup.com/icb/article-ab…

WHY IS A MAD SCIENTIST NOT CURRENTLY LIVE STREAMING A REPLICATION ATTEMPT THIS IS AN OUTRAGE

Congrats to Forrest and team, and big thanks for all the work they’ve done to support so many projects in the field! CAVE has powered a lot of the connectome analysis in FANC (Female Adult Nerve Cord of Drosophila), including our recent preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our micro_sam preprint is out! We finetune Segment Anything for Microscopy and build interactive napari annotation tools based on it. See preprint at biorxiv.org/content/10.110…, software at github.com/computational-… and more info in this thread.

First, we recorded DN activity while activating command-like DNs. To our surprise, we observed that distinct populations of additional DNs are recruited. This experiment already told us the the command DN and population DN model are in fact two faces of the same coin. (3/n)

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/10.1101/2023.0…
