Today the peer-reviewed version of our preprint is out:

"The #connectome of an insect brain"
science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc

Congrats to co-first authors Michael Winding and Benjamin Pedigo, and to all our lab members and collaborators who made this work possible over the years. A journey that started over 10 years agoā€“and yet this is but a new beginning. So much more to come.

See my #tootprint on the preprint from back in the Autumn: mathstodon.xyz/@albertcardona/

The data is available both as supplements and directly via #CATMAID thanks to hosting by the #VirtualFlyBrain:
l1em.catmaid.virtualflybrain.o)

(The "Winding, Pedigo et al. 2023" annotation listing all included neurons will appear very soon in an upcoming update.)

@albertcardona glad to find you here too. The super-fast, multi-camera light-sheet microscope is in the hands of our colleagues at Janelia. Several zebrafish larvae were imaged as dry runs prior to my departure last month. It still awaits a few more optimizations then tests, after which it should be ready for the real worldā€¦ hopefully soon!

šŸ‘‹šŸ¼ Iā€™m Raghav Chhetri, a scientist at Rockefeller University in NYC. I like to follow cells, neurons, photons through the lens of custom microscopes. Iā€™m broadly interested in developing and applying neuroimaging technologies to understand the brain. I feel strongly about current practices in scientific research and strive to make science open, accessible, and welcoming to minorities, historically marginalized, and societally disadvantaged groups.
