What can AI do if merged with an evolution-tuned neural network? Get a first glimpse:

[Srini Turaga @srinituraga]

Our work simulating the fly visual system connectome with @jakhmack @lappalainenjk is now out in @Nature Paper (open access): https://t.co/QDwCLdCqFE

@srinituraga @jakhmack @lappalainenjk @Nature Congratulations @srinituraga @lappalainenjk @jakhmack! A great start!

[HHMI | Janelia @HHMIJanelia]

AI & the connectome are enabling scientists to do what they never thought possible: predict the activity of individual neurons without a single measurement in a living brain.

New research led by Janelia’s @srinituraga & @uni_tue’s @lappalainenjk @jakhmack https://t.co/CMunPgowXR

@HannahHaberkern @HHMIJanelia @janeliagenie Thanks @HannahHaberkern !

[Chuntao Dan @ChuntaoDan]

Grateful for the amazing environment and fantastic colleagues at @HHMIJanelia. This collaborative work is built on top of the groundbreaking achievements of the fly connectome team, @janeliagenie , and world-class scientific support teams.

[HHMI | Janelia @HHMIJanelia]

✨ New research from the Hermundstad & Jayaraman labs @HHMIJanelia suggests how two different learning systems in the fly brain work together with hardwired circuit architectures to enable rapid flexibility. (1/11)

please consider scanning our latest manuscript from Arthur Zhao (@whoisthecell), which is essentially a love letter to the beautiful Lobula Plate Tangential neurons in 𝘋𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘢, many years in the making: https://t.co/HnF6k0FTVW

[Demis Hassabis @demishassabis]

Excited to share #AlphaMissense our new AI system that can classify whether genetic mutations (missense variants) are benign or harmful - a critical step toward uncovering causes of many diseases, from cystic fibrosis to cancer. In @ScienceMagazine today https://t.co/pIsskIe1cP

[Surya Ganguli @SuryaGanguli]

Our new paper led by @johnhwen1 & Ben Sorscher w/ @lisa_giocomo revealing how grid cells fuse landmarks & self-motion to create maps of new environments in a *single* exposure; our model predicts the detailed map of a new env *before* the mouse enters it!

[John Wen @johnhwen1]

Very excited to share our new preprint! Huge thanks to my collaborator and co-first author Ben Sorscher (https://t.co/SWfzk3t4H4) and our advisors @lisa_giocomo and @SuryaGanguli! (1/13)

[Lisa Giocomo @lisa_giocomo]

New paper from the lab @bioRvix, led by amazingly talented grad students @johnhwen1 and Ben Sorscher and in collab with @SuryaGanguli! How does the mammalian brain make maps for navigation on the fly? Check out the thread below for a great overview (and origin story) of the work!

[Lorenzo Fontolan @lorifonto]

🎉Happy to announce that I opened my computational neuroscience group at @inmed_u1249 and @centuri_ls, on the wonderful campus of Luminy in Marseille.

We will focus on the neural dynamics of memory and learning.

Contact me if interested in PhD and PostDoc positions in the lab.

[D.F. Albeanu @dinanthos]

The Albeanu lab is looking for a Research Technician to investigate the neural circuits underlying olfactory perception. Experiments involve behavioral assays, functional imaging, optogenetic manipulations and high-throughput DNA barcoding circuit mapping. https://t.co/4wC9evBwrC

[Karla Kaun @karlakaun]

Very excited to announce we have two research scientist positions open! More info here: https://t.co/rUS7iOwP1H.

[Weinan Sun @sunw37]

Excited to share a project years in the making where we tracked the formation of a hippocampal cognitive map. We observed learning led to gradual decorrelation in neural activity, resulting in orthogonalized representations akin to a state machine capturing the task structure.

[Carsen Stringer @[email protected] @computingnature]

Make your next discovery using #Rastermap, a visualization method for large-scale neural data. Paper now out, w/ @marius10p : https://t.co/6cvInacEWV

[Greg Jefferis @gsxej]

Last 2d to apply for post-doc and research assistant positions in our #connectomics group!

[Greg Jefferis @gsxej]

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
