Our work simulating the fly visual system connectome with @jakhmack @lappalainenjk is now out in @Nature Paper (open access): https://t.co/QDwCLdCqFE Research Briefing:
nature.com
Nature - A simulation that uses machine learning predicts neural-circuit function in the fly brain from the connectivity between neurons.
AI & the connectome are enabling scientists to do what they never thought possible: predict the activity of individual neurons without a single measurement in a living brain. New research led by Janelia’s @srinituraga & @uni_tue’s @lappalainenjk @jakhmack

How useful is a connectome? We show that you can predict quite a bit about the neural activity of a circuit from just measurements of its connectivity. Led by star graduate student @lappalainenjk, collaboration with @jakhmack. #connectome
