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

Our collaboration with @GoogleDeepMind has borne fruit! Or rather, a fruit fly 🪰🙂 Simulated with #MuJoCo physics, trained with imitation learning, capable of realistic locomotion, both on the ground and in the air. 1/n https://t.co/J8oB8zyezH https://t.co/78OYE8K1en

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 https://t.co/8nfiBCun6Q 1/n
