Michael Winding

Group Leader @TheCrick in London | Founder of the Social Circuits and Connectomics Laboratory

[Michael Winding @WindingMichael]

We’ve generated a synapse-resolution map of an insect brain, includes 3016 neurons and half a million synaptic sites! Out today in Science https://t.co/l3W5PEbhtJ

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

[Michael Winding @WindingMichael]

We are looking for a motivated and meticulous laboratory research scientist (LRS) to help with a comprehensive neuronal inactivation screen. This is a great opportunity to build experience in the growing field of experimental connectomics. Apply by 2 May!

[Michael Winding @WindingMichael]

Looking for a PhD position in comparative connectomics? Apply for a joint-supervised position, with myself and @neuroluci.

The aim is to understand how circuits evolve by comparing whole-brain connectomes of fruit fly species. Apply for Project #2 here:

We're using AI to map circuitry across entire brains!

Beautiful work by @MohintaSamia has converted existing training data to match our samples. This allows us to trace neurons instantly, in what used to take years of painstaking work

In development: https://t.co/hlvG75NKA4

@interintel @eLife Fair enough, I see what you mean. Maybe ask Stuart Berg at Janelia about this? You can google his information

[Michael Winding @WindingMichael]

I am excited to share our lab's first publication!
An insight article @eLife by Anna Seggewisse. Read it here, it is open-source https://t.co/fqgRbG3tEk

[Michael Winding @WindingMichael]

@interintel @eLife You might take a look here, the data is certainly public https://t.co/XI8jPDqwvd

[Michael Winding @WindingMichael]

First electron microscopy image from the lab! 🎉

You are seeing hundreds of individual neurons from the brain of a fruit fly larva.

Great work from Anna Seggewisse and Chris Peddie, @EM_STP

[Michael Winding @WindingMichael]

Feel free to contact me directly to discuss projects.

[Michael Winding @WindingMichael]

We have an opening for a postdoctoral clinical fellow. Candidates should have a PhD + clinical degree (medical, veterinary, etc.) with previous clinical post. Help us study how genes related to psychiatric disorders affect brain wiring and social behaviour!

Apply by 30 April...

[Michael Winding @WindingMichael]

What does it take to map a connectome? I was interviewed on @BBC Unexpected Elements, listen in to find out! Starts at the 15 minute mark

[Michael Winding @WindingMichael]

Come help us analyse how synapse-resolution circuitry changes across an entire brain after environmental or genetic manipulation.

@TheCrick provides a supportive environment for postdocs, providing the perfect launchpad for your career!

[Michael Winding @WindingMichael]

We have an open postdoc position! Apply here: https://t.co/dIUAXknHok

Following up on the first brain map of an insect brain (https://t.co/VORWmg6dVi), we will be using comparative connectomics to investigate how wiring changes affect social behaviour in the fruit fly larva.

1/ 🤖 New paper hot off the press 🐜
Automated behavioural analysis using machine learning is great, but still needs lots of effort to curate training data. What if a computer could generate that data for you? Say hello to replicAnt https://t.co/LtCipnE59E #OpenSource

[Salil S Bidaye @SalilBidaye]

Excited to share the first preprint from my lab. A connectome guided effort spanning modeling, behavior and functional imaging that led to uncovering fundamental circuit mechanisms for implementing halting in flies. https://t.co/TJKpg68J99

[Benjamin Cowley @BenjoCowley]

We've updated our preprint on finding one-to-one mappings of DNN neurons and real visual neurons of fruit fly.

--> 2x silenced data with new LC31 neuron type
--> more LC neural recordings
--> FlyWire connectome
--> knockout training simulations

Enjoy!

We're looking for a sandwich student for 2024. Apply by 5 October!

The lab studies whole-brain neural circuitry underlying social behaviours, using the fruit fly larva as a model. For this project, we will explore the role of autism-related genes
