Hard to overstate how pleased I am that the #flywire consortium converted our FAFB ("Full Adult Fly Brain") EM volume into a connectome, and that the resulting science has been (and will be) so impactful. Thanks to everyone involved.
David Rowland@DavidCRowland

Here it is! A huge milestone in neuroscience – the complete connectome of the fly brain from the FlyWire team (@FlyWireNews). In this special issue, we have 9 research articles. I’ll try to summarize them in a couple threads starting here 🧵

For over twenty years, many dedicated researchers around the world have worked to realize the dream of connectomics. I'm especially indebted to the talented members of my laboratory, past and present. And I've been lucky to benefit from so many powerful collaborations.

Has anyone noticed the similarities of the US Cultural Revolution 2025 with the Chinese Cultural Revolution 1966? Are there differences?

Final week to register for the Crete meeting - judging from the people who already signed up, this is shaping up to be a super exciting week for Drosophila circuits enthusiasts.
Jan M Ache@jan_ache

Fellow Fly Folks - registration for the Crete Fly Circuits meeting just opened! This will be a fun and exciting conference for everyone working on neural circuits & behavior in Drosophila 🪰. June 15 - 21/2025. And yes, the venue is right by the sea 🌊. sites.google.com/view/crete-fly…

The BRAIN Initiative has driven unprecedented progress in neuroscience, but a 40% funding cut threatens this momentum. Restoring funding would help solve more mysteries of the brain and developing life-changing treatments. #studyBRAIN nature.com/articles/s4159…
Cory Miller@CoryMillerMarmo

The BRAIN Initiative has been an engine of innovation but is now fighting for its survival. Here we discuss why BRAIN is special and why we must all fight for it now nature.com/articles/s4159… @TheHongLab @DrZoePhD @bjmarlin @doristsao @moriel_z @HongkuiZeng XiaokeChen ZivWilliams

This is a really heroic experiment recording associative learning neurons in the fly brain over two hours while two flies interact with one another. This device and this approach can generally enable many more kinds of social interaction experiments
Victor Lobato Rios@VLobatoRios

We recorded the activity of neurons within this network during 2 hours of social interactions. Interestingly, as the animals became more sociable the baseline and locomotor-related activity greatly diminished in MBONs previously implicated in aversive learning.

The $3B Human Genome Project was started under a Republican administration and later acknowledged by the Obama admin to have returned $141 to the economy for every $1 spent. Science has a higher ROI than any other category of government spending.

I've combined some of these together into a new #neuro #visualization "In the eye of a fly": Using the @FlyWireNews visual system wiring diagram, #Brian2 spiking #neuron simulator, and #blender. Information flow through the chiasms, across a topographic map.

Tom Reese has passed. He was a truly pioneering explorer of neuronal ultrastructure, and really nice guy to talk to. I am grateful to have known him. mbl.edu/news/obituarie…

Interested in working on a state-of-the-art connectomics pipeline at its birthplace as a postdoc? We’d love to hear from you! :) mrc.tal.net/vx/mobile-0/ap…
