Sneak peek: We will soon be releasing a complete insect brain connectome! With both brain hemispheres mapped, we can study how the left and right sides of the brain communicate #Drosophila #neuroscience

What a great week of a lot of exciting science at the first in-person MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology symposium since 2019. Congratulations to our postdoc George E. Ghanim on being awarded the Joan Steitz Prize! So well-deserved George.

Check out our new preprint: the complete #connectome of the entire #Drosophila larval brain, with all inputs and all outputs, and a comprehensive analysis of feedforward and feedback pathways across both brain hemispheres #Neuroscience biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

👉 Our new preprint is out on #BioRxiv It is a comprehensive work between our lab, Albert Cardona @[email protected] lab and our collaborators, with our talented postdoc Michael Winding as a co-first author and also one of the coresponding authors 🥳

The emerging connectome, or synaptic wiring diagram, of the Drosophila brain has transformed fly circuit neuroscience. But the ventral nerve cord, which mediates limb proprioception and motor control, has lagged behind. We set out to fill this gap. 🧵1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Over 50,000 annotations have been added to the connectome by the FlyWire community! This APL neuron, tagged by M. W. Pleijzier Zhihao Zheng, is 20x longer than a fly's whole body and is the longest cell in the brain. Proofread by labs of Greg Jefferis Murthy Lab @sebastianseung

ok. i've peaked. it's all downhill from here. i was interviewed as the "expert not involved in the study" by GIZMODO (!!😍!!) on the new larval connectome paper, out today in science from Albert Cardona @[email protected], Zlatic Lab, and colleagues. amazing work!! gizmodo.com/first-complete…

How does the brain work? 🧠 Today, scientists reveal the first complete brain wiring map in a relatively complex animal. The map can help understand how signals travel through the brain to drive behaviour and learning 👇 PDN Cambridge Dept of Zoology MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology

The complete synaptic-resolution connectome of an insect brain has been mapped by the groups of Zlatic Lab & Albert Cardona @[email protected] in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division & Joshua T. Vogelstein at Johns Hopkins BME - the most complex brain ever mapped in its entirety. Read more: www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/complete-synap… #LMBResearch

Good luck Michael Winding 🥳 We'll miss you...

More coverage of NeuroData Lab and Zlatic Lab's groundbreaking work, out today in Science Magazine.

Our work studying the connectome of an insect brain, that of a Drosophila larva, is out today in Science! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Some highlights below and in Michael Winding’s thread. Work with NeuroData Lab, Carey Priebe, Albert Cardona @[email protected], Zlatic Lab, and many others.

We’ve generated a synapse-resolution map of an insect brain, includes 3016 neurons and half a million synaptic sites! Out today in Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Summary below and in Ben Pedigo’s thread. Zlatic Lab, Albert Cardona @[email protected], NeuroData Lab, Carey Priebe, and many others

Scientists have generated the first complete map of the brain of a small insect. The map shows all 3,016 neurons and 548,000 synapses tightly packed in a young fruit fly's brain, which is smaller than a poppy seed go.nature.com/3ZTAU8q
