@E11BIO is excited to unveil PRISM technology for mapping brain wiring with simple light microscopes. Today, brain mapping in humans and other mammals is bottlenecked by accurate neuron tracing. PRISM uses molecular ID codes and AI to help neurons trace themselves. We discovered a new cell barcoding approach exceeding comparable methods by more than 750x. This is the heart of PRISM. We integrated this capability with microscopy and AI image analysis to automatically trace neurons at high resolution and annotate them with molecular features.

This is a key advance towards economically viable brain mapping - 95% of costs stem from neuron tracing. It is also an important step towards democratizing neuron tracing for everyday neuroscience. Solving these problems is critical for curing brain disorders, building safer and human-like AI, and even simulating brain function.

In our first pilot study, we acquired a unique dataset in mouse hippocampus. Barcodes improved the accuracy of tracing genetically labelled neurons by 8x – with a clear path to 100x or more. They also permit tracing across spatial gaps – essential for mitigating tissue section loss in whole-brain scaling. Using molecular annotation, we uncover an intriguing feature of synaptic organization, demonstrating how PRISM can be used for systematic discovery 🧵

#iGEM2019 was such a phenomenal event and we are so proud of all #geekStarter teams. @iGEMCalgary placed 2nd overall, @LethHS_iGEM were silver medalists, @ualbertaigem were bronze medalists and @LethbridgeiGEM won a gold medal. Congrats everyone! #STEMEducation

[Lethbridge HS iGEM @LethHS_iGEM]

Stopped by @UofT to say hi to Andy. Great little reunion on our way to @iGEM jamboree!

[MindFuel @MindFuelca]

We are extremely proud of all of the teams from the #geekStarter program that are taking part in #IGEM2019. Here's the @LethHS_iGEM team after their poster presentation. They are developing a rapid detection system for common hospital and environmental pathogens.
