👋 It is out! Our joint effort to create a complete synaptic connectome of Drosophila larval brain came true and is published in @ScienceMagazine: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Amazing work by @WindingMichael, @bpedigod + colleagues from @MRC_LMB @Cambridge_Uni @HopkinsEngineer @JHUBME

RT @Nature: Scientists have generated the first complete map of the brain of a small insect. The map shows all 3,016 neurons and 548,000 sy…

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 @bpedigod’s thread. @ZlaticLab, @albertcardona, @neuro_data, Carey Priebe, and many others

RT @Cambridge_Uni: How does the brain work? 🧠 Today, scientists reveal the first complete brain wiring map in a relatively complex animal.…

@matthewcobb @albertcardona Thank you 😊

The complete synaptic-resolution connectome comprises 3016 neurons and 548,000 synapses. We believe that this complete brain connectome will be a lasting reference study, providing a basis for a multitude of theoretical and experimental studies of brain function in general🧠

We would like to cordially thank to @albertcardona, Carey Priebe, @jovo, Volker Hartenstein, Richard Fetter and their labs and @HHMIJanelia for all the support on this journey 🙏

Good luck @WindingMichael 🥳 We'll miss you...

3/3 In addition, our system will enable rapid screening for neurons and circuits that underpin different forms of learning and also has the potential to drive future research in larval taxis, decision-making, and spatial navigation and #memory.

2/3 This stimulation is delivered automatically with high temporal precision and is controlled in either open- or closed-loop. Using this approach, we show for the first time that Drosophila larvae can perform classical #conditioning with no overlap between sensory stimuli.

📢Did you know that we have developed a high throughput training system that allows real-time behaviour detection of freely moving larvae (up to 16) with targeted opto- and #thermogenetic stimulation of tracked animals in #Drosophila? elifesciences.org/articles/70015 1/3🧵
