Thank you to all 163 students who applied for our summer internship. Congratulations to the 15 students representing 6 countries who landed a spot. Keep an eye out for their projects later this summer!
It took endless hours in the lab and a massive effort, but we're finally here: Eyewire II is officially out!
Huge thanks to our amazing co-authors and everyone else who supported us along the way. So grateful for the hard work—it’s been a privilege pushing through this together.
Meet Eyewire II: a new connectomic resource for the mouse retina.
~1 mm² of retina at nm resolution, with synapses and circuits of ca. 100,000 neurons + visual responses from the ~400 neurons shown in the video!

This is just the beginning.
We're excited to see the discoveries that emerge from Eyewire II and to continue building this platform together with the retina community.
See you at #FASEB, and stay tuned for our next Eyewire II Town Hall in September!
Research to Prevent Blindness (RPB) recently announced that a first-of-its-kind $950,000 RPB Transformational Team Science Award has been made to the @eye_wire II project. According to Gregory Schwartz, PhD, Eyewire II will create an open-source data resource that will be available to the entire research field, with particular relevance to work in neuroscience and vision science.@NUFeinbergMed
