Will robots and AI replace scientists? No, our goal is to create robots and ML algorithm that free scientists from labor work to focus on more impactful tasks. The recent publication on the 2nd-gen fly robot from the Schnitzer lab demonstrates our vision. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This paper is now published in Cell Reports! Our study investigates how the sugar circuit diverges into different pathways that mediate different behaviors. The revision has a ton of new data and circuit simulations (thanks to the model by Philip Shiu!) cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Connectomes, connectomes, connectomes: Mert Erginkaya and I wrote a Current Biology dispatch about the FANC fly VNC connectome papers from the John Tuthill and Wei-Chung Allen Lee @darbly.bsky.social labs in nature, and discuss how connectomes change the way we analyze circuits for behavior.

Shocking myopia. How about reading some of the Drosophila literature?thetransmitter.org/dopamine/recon…

Do not forget: Palestinians have been under bombardment for 11 months. 40,000 of them have been killed by bombs like these. Whatever you hear from Western media today about this horrible development in Tel Aviv, ask yourself, why did you not hear it about Palestinians?

Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature. This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium! nature.com/immersive/d428… Check out the thread for an overview of the 9 #flywire papers published today

Zoom into the #flywire fly brain courtesy of another of Philipp Schlegel's (Fly Connectome Dept of Zoology MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology) amazing 3D sequences. Then read his piece on the flyconnecto.me blog to find out more about how the #connectome became a reality flyconnecto.me/2024/10/02/fly….

Breakthrough Day in NeuroScience!

Important thread.

This year’s medicine laureates Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun studied a relatively unassuming 1 mm long roundworm, C. elegans. Despite its small size, C. elegans possesses many specialised cell types such as nerve and muscle cells also found in larger, more complex animals,

Amazing opportunity for early career neuroscientists & psychiatrists to share their work and learn from peers in beautiful Nice next March- Keynote by Carlos Ribeiro #ecnpWS2025 ECNP ecnp.eu/early-career-s…

A sick thread. 🧐

Collin Rugg This new release from Tesla is mind-blowing. It feels like the World just advanced 50-100 years technologically. The new #CyberCab looks pretty sweet. It has no steering wheel or pedals. A new #Robovan vehicle for transporting 20 people at a time, or goods. And a new
