    attacks on make no sense. There’s no social system not vulnerable to cheats - including natural systems after millions of yrs of natural selection! The (+) of far outweigh the (-), including identifying and calling out bad science early enough.

    Really excited to say that this is out in ! Distinct roles for innexin gap junctions and hemichannels in mechanosensation

    , a : At least since Francis Crick’s famous review of 1979, neuroscientists have dreamed of ways to identify all the neurons connected to a cell of interest. In the last decade this has become a reality through the widespread use of rabies virus tracers. 1/11

    Should also say that @gkantia did a lot of the genetics and more to make this possible

    More w/ lab preprints! developed + thoroughly characterised to label neurons inputting those in your favourite genetic lines (opposite to Tango system). Results across many live flies ≈ those from one dead EM’d one

    What caused the large jump in 'fruit fly neuroscience' papers in 2013? I'm guessing it was the release of the GMR gal4 lines by for genetic targeting of subsets of neurons. I wonder if we will get a similar jump from the recent EM reconstruction release...

    Insect and arthropod neuroscientists: the German ANN (Arthropod Neuroscience Network) Spring Meeting registration deadline is in two days. This is aimed especially at young researchers and the cost is very modest. Come if you can!

    Thanks to heroic efforts by my team over many years, especially Joe Woodgate, Vince Gallo and Jason Lim, we can now finally radar-track bees' flight in 3 dimensions and see what bees see along the way.

    A neuroanatomical milestone reached: 21,662 neuron volumes, and importantly the data is all accessible. Thank you

    All of the just-released fly connectome data is fully available for free, along with the tools and resources to use it. More here, from FlyEM project team leader :

    HHMI News: and scientists have constructed the most complete map of the fly brain ever created, pinpointing millions of connections between 25,000 neurons. Now, a wiring diagram of the entire brain is within reach.

    Big news! "In this work we have achieved a dream of anatomists that is more than a century old." Looking forward to the soon-to-appear analysis of the mushroom body promised in the abstract

    The HemiBrain dataset is preprinted! An impressive project, I did a bit of reconstruction for it in the LH. But intrepid fly network-anatomists pay attention to its brain region completion rates:

    That’s right, which is why ’s FAFB is still the best data source for whole brain questions...and many are, but I think it’s worth paying attention to all the info we’re gaining with this massive data set, rather than focusing too much on what’s missing. So much new info!

    But note much my old undergrad friend Ruairi managed to do!, even without segmentation. Absolute powerhouse now reconstructing with only one partner in crime, , in a new tiny brain from ,

    I spent a solid ~1000 continuous hours working on reconstructing neurons in just for this paper. Ruairi spent ~1800 solid hours. Project took ~3.5 years

    you can see tracers took a while to adopt using auto-segmentation results to speed up their manual neuron tracing work, e.g. didn't trace for a bit. 'Data exploration'.

    Our work here may be one of the last big beasts of the manual reconstruction era. See a spike in productivity when made his partial neuron auto-segmentation available to us? (essential plumbing from )
