If I could convince everyone in the world to read and understand one article about COVID it would be this one. FWIW it very closely tracks the understanding I’ve developed over many months now, and explains all of the twists and turns to date. cspicenter.org/blog/waronscie…

Would you rather have fewer neurons but more connections per neuron or more neurons with fewer connections? Depends on if you want to be a mouse or monkey. cell.com/cell-reports/p…

See how our team built a high-throughput, automated #electronmicroscopy pipeline and took ~125,000,000 pictures of a tiny sample of brain tissue to reveal its fine wiring. This work is part of the collaborative IARPA MICrONS project. nature.com/articles/s4146…

#Imagerie🧠| Première mondiale : l’#IRM du projet Iseult à 11,7 teslas, le plus puissant au monde destiné à l’imagerie chez l’être humain, conçu par les ingénieurs et les chercheurs du CEA, vient de dévoiler ses premières images 👇

Excited to have the wonderful study by Gabrielle Pouchelon out in Cell Reports @GPouchelon , which examines the logic by which Somatostatin and Parvalbumin interneurons establish afferent connectivity in sensory and associative cortex. cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Got complex image data? napari🔬 might be the answer. go.nature.com/33ydmht

Happy to share our work on using connectomics to characterize dopamine neurons and their structural changes caused by cocaine elifesciences.org/articles/71981

Saddened to learn that Howard C. Berg has died at 87. Howard discovered so much about how bacteria swim, and how they navigate; he set an agenda for generations of physicists and biologists who followed, both in style and in substance. He also had a wicked sense of humor.

Chandelier cells in mouse VISp (V1), in context of large-scale EM + dense reconstruction from the MICrONS group, now live in eLife. Clear, compelling narrative from @csdashm doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… eLife - the journal

We are super proud to share that @uzquiano_a and Amanda Kedaigle's paper is out in @cellcellpress today! We built a single cell molecular atlas of human cortical organoid development. Check it out here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1fqjfL7PXiq4W

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

I've been playing with these models and they are impressive! Congrats to the Gemini team. Gemini models were trained using TensorStore to handle distributed writing/reading of checkpoints from thousands of machines with high throughput and reliability: github.com/google/tensors…

hey - you should join us Jan 6, 8:00 am for When do brains grow up?🧠. clubhouse.com/invite/ZzRHNEq…
