Our new manuscript, where we report physiological and behavioral evidence of olfactory unimodal sensory preconditioning in fruit flies, is now online at eLife: Congrats to our students Juan Marinez and Prachi Shah from @GUBiology and Anna Phan @UAlberta elifesciences.org/articles/79107
A quick story about segmenting this dataset in the Seung lab…
Here it is! A huge milestone in neuroscience – the complete connectome of the fly brain from the FlyWire team (@FlyWireNews). In this special issue, we have 9 research articles. I’ll try to summarize them in a couple threads starting here 🧵
and check out this nice summary by @MPFNeuro about our work.
Max Planck Florida scientists led by @SalilBidaye have decoded precise neural mechanisms for stopping. The findings published @Nature demonstrate how the brain engages different mechanisms depending on context. mpfi.org/halt-scientist… @NehaSapakal @NinoMancini_ @DivyaSthanu…
Our Prachi Shah, capstone project. This is absolutely awesome.
Love is in the air! 🥰In this year’s @CSHLflycourse, some students performed a behavioral study that tested how alcohol affected courtship. 🪰 #CSHLfly23 cshl.edu/videos/for-the…
Warm congratulations to @tamaraboto of @tcdphysiology and @TCINeuroscience on her prestigious @wellcometrust Career Development Award valued at €1.8m. Dr Boto said this award gives her lab the means to contribute to our understanding of how brain works: tcd.ie/news_events/to…
Happy 105th (!) birthday to @GairdnerAwards oldest living Laureate, Brenda Milner. Born on this day in in **1918**! In 2005, she was honoured "For pioneering research in the understanding of memory". Truly inspiring!
Celebrate the awe of the connectome! Video from this morning's @FlyWireNews Connectome Awards Show :) Score by @musoscientific. Video by me using @MaxonVFX Cinema 4D + @OTOY Octane renderer + @AdobeAE. Fly model: @AliciaAHidalgo. Brain model: @gsxej
🧪Scientists are creating Janelia Fluor dyes that can act as linkers for other ligands, using them to see brain-wide turnover of proteins & deploying them to record the transcriptional history of cells & examine dendritic biophysics & plasticity rules➡️janelia.org/news/next-gene…
Hello! Let me tell you about Sugarbuzz, a children's comic book about food & senses that you can download at lsa.umich.edu/content/dam/um… for free. Pls RT!
Two software tools developed @HHMIJanelia - neuPrint and NeuronBridge - enable scientists worldwide to develop and test hypotheses about brain connections. janelia.org/news/janelia-s…

Call for @CSHLflycourse applications--due 3/15! #Drosophila Neurobiology: Genes, Circuits & Behavior (July 1-21) Instructors: @CAndrewFrank @elliehoopla @drosophilosophy Free to apply; Financial aid available For info and COVID-related policies: bit.ly/flycourse22
Connect with incredible research as Dr. Gloria Brar from UC Berkeley presents her research into the circuitry regulating meiosis!
Paper is out! #Drosophila 'know' what's best! Flies build an internal expectation of the substrate options in their environment and use it to make informed egg-laying decisions. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… [fly exploring options before laying an egg on the best one, 20x speed]🧵(1/7)
The fly central brain synthesizes sensory stimuli into decisions and actions. For the first time, ALL 46,944 branched and far-reaching neurons of both hemispheres of the central brain have been reconstructed and are available via FlyWire. join.flywire.ai
