Ever wonder why some mosquitoes like biting you more than the animals nearby? What’s unique about human odor and how can mosquitoes tell the difference? By opening their heads and reading their minds, we now have some answers. disq.us/t/3sn6fy5

(1/n) What circuit generates selectivity in L2/3 cortical neurons? We answer this question in our paper: Spatial connectivity matches direction selectivity in visual cortex out today in @nature with Kenneth D Harris and Matteo Carandini. nature.com/articles/s4158…

#preprint is out! doi.org/10.1101/2021.0… #Correlative multimodal imaging across scales (mm to nm) to study systems #neuroscience. We tapped on the #structure and #function of the mammalian brain by taking pictures with lasers, X-rays and electrons. Thread: 1/5

Agenda posted for DOE-NIH whole brain mapping workshop #4 on data & reconstruction, featuring @herrsaalfeld Thomas Macrina Michał Januszewski Julia Milena Nicholas Turner Jörgen Kornfeld Amy Robinson Sterling Eric Perlman, G. Mahalingham, P. Rivlin, R. Anathakrishnan, and T. Uram: brainconnectivityseries.com/workshop-4/

How do innate behaviors emerge? In “Complex Computation from Developmental Priors” Tali and I explore an AI model for neuroevolution, derived from neurodevelopmental principles👇🏼 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Please never ever impute NaN as 0 unless you a priori mean centered each feature (and then you only estimated the mean on the training data, and then apply that mean to the test data).

OK, so this is cool: @ryubrendan, @shivanagappan, @ericaodrig1, and others in Kevin Franks found that brief #optogenetic activation of piriform cortex neurons produce kindling epileptogenesis. #optokindling

The piece (wavefunction.fieldofscience.com/2016/10/subrah… ) by Ash Jogalekar is a beautiful succinct summary of Chandrashekar' work and life. The screenshot below tells of Sommerfeld's 1920 visit to Madras and of Chandra's insights on the boat to England.

Here is a fun Bloomberg "Hello World" Video that just got released. It's about the connectomics efforts of the Lichtman and Engert labs. youtube.com/watch?v=OAWISb…

Great read. The images look a lot like the first large scale extracellular EM efforts.

Very poor, non-existent customer service by #bajajallianz Dr. Tapan Singhel . ALL phone numbers on the website do not work! Emails are unanswered. Wht does one need to do to get their attention?#bajaj #allianz #insurance

How useful is a connectome? We show that you can predict quite a bit about the neural activity of a circuit from just measurements of its connectivity. Led by star graduate student Janne Lappalainen, collaboration with Jakob Macke. #connectome biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… 1/n

For our 3rd competition for #NeurIPS2023, we’re asking: can you predict a new algorithm for how cells respond to a drug treatment?​ Learning how #singlecells respond to perturbations will help support more efficient drug design. See more on Kaggle: kaggle.com/competitions/o…

How are neurons activated by sensory stimuli? For the past century, the only method for addressing this question has been neurophysiology.
