This year is the 10th anniversary of the Google Research’s Connectomics team! In celebration, today with MCB_Harvard we’re publishing a 1.4 petabyte human brain connectome with 57k cells and 150M synapses in Science Magazine → goo.gle/4a8SpWT & sites.research.google/neural-mapping/

Our human connectome project is now published; science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. Thanks to all contibutors, esp Michał Januszewski, D.Berger, Viren Jain and J.Lichtman. As Cajal said; “The brain is a world consisting of a number of unexplored continents and great stretches of unknown territory".

The fly has a full #connectome, basically a directed + weighted graph. But what are its connection ‘signs’, excitatory/inhibitory? We move towards this answer, predicting transmitters from EM! w/Nils Eckstein, vid Amy Robinson Sterling, 1/n Published Cell: cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Entering the era of comparative connectomics. Figure 1: Reconstruction and identification of 3 neuronal classes across 3 datasets. New Dr Kathi Eichler @[email protected] et al preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
