Neuronal diversity is written in transcriptional codes 🧬. But what is the logic of these codes that define cell types and wiring patterns? To find out we built a #scRNAseq developmental atlas of the Drosophila nerve cord and linked it to the #connectome 🪰🧠 Tweeprint! ⬇️1/8

An important addition to the Nature paper, beyond what was shown in the 2024 preprint, is 12 rounds of iterative imaging and sectioning of a LICONN volume, achieving 205 microns in axial extent (native scale) with manual tracing of axons: nature.com/articles/s4158…

As people that know me well can attest, I love a good mystery! 🔍 Fortunately for me, this work had twists both surprising and peculiar. 🧵

New Anthropic research: Tracing the thoughts of a large language model. We built a "microscope" to inspect what happens inside AI models and use it to understand Claude’s (often complex and surprising) internal mechanisms.



Belated preprint alert! Ever wondered how mitochondrial structure changes across development? Here, we present comprehensive EM reconstructions of mitochondria in C. elegans neurons and muscles from the L1 larval stage to adulthood, including the alternative dauer stage. 1/n

Sydney Brenner established C. elegans as a model organism starting in the 1960s, which led to the first connectome in 1986. In Sept 2007, we invited Sydney to deliver the inaugural lecture for our new @Harvard @MIT class on connectomics, and shockingly he accepted!

Hard to overstate how pleased I am that the #flywire consortium converted our FAFB ("Full Adult Fly Brain") EM volume into a connectome, and that the resulting science has been (and will be) so impactful. Thanks to everyone involved.

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 🧵

Big day for neuroscience & the end of the beginning for whole brain connectomics. Shout out to @sdorkenw and Philipp Schlegel, first authors of the connectome papers, @MurthyLab @SebastianSeung for establishing #flywire to make this possible and @dddavi for birthing this dataset.

Incredibly proud and grateful to be part of the #FlyWire team that made this happen. This was an immensely collaborative project - on every level from early open data sharing, to tool building, to analysis - over many years, across many institutions. It's been a fantastic journey

A historic milestone for neuroscience! It's been a fantastic journey for the #FlyWire Consortium. This special edition of Nature showcases the power of open science, with nine papers that not only describe the fly connectome, but also make discoveries using it.

The APL neuron is the longest cell in the fly connectome. There are only 2 in the brain. Each one is 20x longer than the fly's whole body and has well over 100,000 synapses. Explore the fantastic APL cell in Codex: codex.flywire.ai/app/cell_detai…
