Just published yesterday, the #BANC! A full central nervous system (CNS) connectome of a limbed animal enables us to trace sensory-motor arcs and understand how the CNS controls the body. https://t.co/19jmEfxEVH #neuroscience @Nature, Video by @quorumetrix, sound on! 1/18

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

NYE fireworks < neurons expressing iGluSnFR3!

Developed at our Janelia Research Campus, iGluSnFR3 is a fluorescent sensor designed to rapidly detect & image glutamate — our brains' main chemical messenger — allowing researchers to observe (dazzling) neural communication as it happens. 🎆

🪰 A team of Janelia researchers &amp; collaborators have created a new set of tools for studying motor control of wing movements in fruit flies, providing an important #openscience resource for future studies of fly flight &amp; courtship 🧠

Per source, NIH has been instructed to hold off from issuing ALL awards to Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, and Northwestern (including med schools)

Agency staff have also been instructed to not speak about this funding freeze to grantees and applicants

[@adel-aide.bsky.social @ade__lady]

A group of researchers funded by the now-terminated MOSAIC K99/R00 program had a chance to share our stories and the consequences this will have for a generation of early career scientists

[Google DeepMind @GoogleDeepMind]

We built an AI model to simulate how a fruit fly walks, flies and behaves – in partnership with @HHMIJanelia. 🪰

Our computerized insect replicates realistic motion, and can even use its eyes to control its actions.

Here’s how we developed it – and what it means for science. 🧵

[Tyler Sloan @quorumetrix]

And last but not least, the mic-drop moment of functional connectomics. “Cells that fire together”, or to be more exact: ”Neurons with higher signal correlation are more likely to form synapses.”

[Rui Costa @ruimcosta]

Our scientists with over 150 collaborators have released the largest functional map and wiring diagram of the brain to date – seven years in the making.

Today’s 1.6 petabyte release marks a historic day for neuroscience. This moonshot milestone will further efforts towards understanding the cortical mechanisms of intelligence. Congratulations to the teams who made this possible.

a woman who cannot speak now speaks through her brain, in real time, with her own voice.

no typing, delay, or sounds made.

this isn’t prediction. it’s embodiment
