Scientists used AI to help develop a "digital brain." In our latest #LabNotespodcast episode, 🎧 hear how we used AI to stitch together 95M hi-res images in effort to develop the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date.

@abhi_aggarwal1 @PodgorskiLab Thanks to all who pointed out the mistaken NYE's hashtags. 😅 Whenever there is a holiday involving fireworks, I just get very excited to share a glutamate indicator video. If everyone could bring the same energy for NYE that would be amazing. - Your Friendly Neighborhood Admin.
