Working with n>1 connectomes, led us to a new #celltype definition: “a group of cells that are more similar to cells in a different brain than to any other cell in the same brain”. We use this to propose cell types that are robust to inter-individual variation. /8

Here’s a clip of the woman who confronted the panel. I deeply admire her courage. “It is nothing compared to the systematic and structural discrimination have to face, especially in the stem fields”

A major obstacle to modeling the nervous system of the worm has been the unknown weights of the connections. Which are excitatory or inhibitory and how strong? Well, the lab of Andrew Leifer (@[email protected]) has put out a Neural Signal propagation atlas to address this critical gap (1/4)

We mapped the connections between high order sensory inputs and memory cells in the octopus brain, first-ever reconstructed octopus memory circuit: data and principles of circuit assembly today in eLife doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…, joint work w/ Flavie Bidel Hebrew University& Harvard University,RT!👇

The octopus brain, diverged from human ancestors 500M years ago, rivals dogs & cats in neuron count! Its memory circuit boasts 25M+ neurons, over 1000x a fruit fly's MB. The revealed circuit displays a 3-layer neural network, 'memorizing' 1.8M inputs.👇

“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.” Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (Katalin Kariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges. Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her

We made a fun tool for visualizing gene expression in the C. elegans nervous system. You can visually explore expression patterns of any gene via a spatial heatmap, and ask: Which neurons express my gene of interest? Which neurons express it at high or low levels?
