Check out our paper on inferring and analyzing the fly effectome (led by the fearless @deanpospisil and @mjamagon), now in print as part of the FlyWire Connectome collection.

[Max Aragon @mjamagon]

Such a fun collaboration, and so exciting to be part of the amazing work by the FlyWire team.

[Dean Pospisil @deanpospisil]

Our work (w/ @jpillowtime @mjamagon, @Murthylab) analyzing the whole-brain fly connectome was just published in Nature: https://t.co/4gil3u8t4S. For a summary see our tweet thread on our pre-print. @FlyWireNews

Pospisil et al. reveal high-dimensional dynamics supported by many small independent circuits,
motivating a proposal for optogenetic perturbation to efficiently learn the "effectome", a causal model of whole-brain neural dynamics!

A team led by @PrincetonNeuro's Mala Murthy (@MurthyLab) and @sebastianseung has mapped a fly's entire brain — a new step in understanding brain diseases in humans. https://t.co/sm2FVov2uh

@HazanPrinceton @XiaWenhan awesome work!

[Jonathan Pillow @jpillowtime]

Check out our new paper on how to use the (newly released) fly connectome to learn the fly effectome! Our approach relies on optogenetic perturbations, instrumental variables, and a "connectome prior"!

Just wanted to say that I got an 8/10 on the nyt quiz quiz for distinguishing essays written by children or chatgpt.

Please RT! I am hiring a lab manager to help start my neuroscience lab at NC State in Jan 2023. We’ll use Drosophila to dissect neural mechanisms of hearing. More info at https://t.co/idj4jmpwl6

My book **The Entangled Brain** by MIT Press is out and provides an introduction to the brain to non-specialists while embracing the complexity of how brains help bring about behaviors. I'll be posting 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 in the coming 1-2 weeks

Really lovely #sfn2022 talk from @mjamagon walking carefully through the neural processes underlying stay/switch decisions in fly courtship: how do male flies decide whether to persist in courting females through optogenetically mediated heat stressor? Great way to start the day.

[Max Aragon @mjamagon]

Thank you!

@szorowi1 @yael_niv Doing just fine, hope you are too 🙂

[Max Aragon @mjamagon]

@szorowi1 @yael_niv Well done Sam, looks like this will be very helpful
