It's warming to see the traction our #flywire fly brain connectome is getting. To highlight one neat thing: w/ @YijieYin1 and V. Hartenstein we mapped out the developmental building blocks of the brain ('hemilineages'), enabling us to group neurons by their evo-devo origins:

Zoom into the #flywire fly brain courtesy of another of Philipp Schlegel's (@flyconnectome @CamZoology @MRC_LMB) amazing 3D sequences. Then read his piece on the https://t.co/AU2Rppm0iJ blog to find out more about how the #connectome became a reality https://t.co/CLFgjFGCD8.

Big day for neuroscience & the end of the beginning for whole brain connectomics. Shout out to @sdorkenw and Philipp Schlegel, first authors of the connectome papers, @MurthyLab @SebastianSeung for establishing #flywire to make this possible and @dddavi for birthing this dataset.

[FlyWire @FlyWireNews]

Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature.
This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium!

🎉 Excited to share our collaborative work on the anterior visual pathway is now published! Check it out: https://t.co/4WcGkgNfMX Huge congrats to everyone involved! 👏

[Chaitanya Dingare @dd_chaitanya]

Excited to share my first author postdoc paper in Developmental Cell https://t.co/lBUMyPjHvH

[CSIR-NBRI @csirnbrilko]

Many congratulations to Dr. AP Sane, Dr. VA Sane & their team for the research article  "The tomato EAR-motif repressor, SlERF36, .......... responses" published in Plant Biotechnology Journal (IF 13.8). https://t.co/KOxnmhwVd3

Would you like to shape the future of connectomics ... even neuroscience? Fresh from finishing the two largest connectomes ever, we have post-doc and research assistant positions in the @flyconnectome group @CamZoology (collab w @MRC_LMB @ScottishWaddell @janeliaflyem) Pls RT 1/4

[Greg Jefferis @gsxej]

Building the FlyWire #connectome from the FAFB brain was a massive team effort. But neuroscientists need to find their favourite neurons in this huge dataset. We report an indexed parts list, systematically annotating all 127k neurons (Schlegel et al https://t.co/1VaFlFWZVp) 1/7

[Sven Dorkenwald @sdorkenw]

We are releasing a whole-brain connectome of the fruit fly, including ~130k annotated neurons and tens of millions of typed synapses!

A consensus cell type atlas from multiple connectomes reveals principles of circuit stereotypy and variation https://t.co/o2YQG32ovb

[Greg Jefferis @gsxej]

Delighted that @flyconnectome group @CamZoology (and local collaborators @MRC_LMB) could play their part in finishing this major new #drosophila #connectome supported by @wellcometrust. Tweeprints coming soon, but links to data, tools and papers already at https://t.co/XFzk52IriA

[Greg Jefferis @gsxej]

Flies sniff out the 'what' and 'where' of other flies. Now out https://t.co/UHzbjZducc. Lovely new recordings of neuronal responses to a freely-walking male confirm active contrast between two antennae allows flies to 'see' each other using smell. @CellCellPress @MRC_LMB 1/2

[FlyWire @FlyWireNews]

Cool preprint alert: @Philip_Shiu et al simulate a fly brain using the FlyWire community connectome. @martamcosta2 @gsxej @as_bates @BobQubit @janfunkey @SalilBidaye @Steffi__Hampel @Andrew_M_Seeds @GabriellaSterne ++ https://t.co/zvuMboHZw8

[Matthieu Louis @tamsioul]

[1/11] @DavidTadres and I are excited to share new research https://t.co/fskxPEDSti where we show that olfactory sensory neurons undergo silencing due to depolarization block at ethologically relevant odor concentrations. #olfaction #chemosensation #behavior

[Fly Connectome @flyconnectome]

We've got an open position for a 2y Research Assistant in our group @CamZoology @Cambridge_Uni, to contribute to the generation of the 1st adult fly CNS #connectome.
Suited to BSc or MSc, looking for research experience before #PhD.
Closing 18 Dec: https://t.co/zi6Bh13D7q

[Marta Costa @martamcosta2]

Please help to spread the word! We're a friendly and supportive group, with a great track record in helping people get on to PhDs.
