By giving all #flyneuro labs access to the data when we began proofreading, science has proceeded alongside completion of the connectome. More papers highlighting the FlyWire resource coming soon … stay tuned!.

One quick teaser - @DudiFly and Kaiyu Wang identified nearly all sexually-dimorphic neurons brainwide - now possible to trace information flow for social communication and female-specific behaviors. Here is a subset of fru/dsx neurons (render from @alin1194):

FlyWire connectome reveals how sensory signals are integrated to drive behavior, and how recurrence and feedback shape these sensorimotor pathways. So much science to come - lucky to have co-led the project with @SebastianSeung.

Update of potential interest: I'll be starting a comp neuro group at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory @CSHL in Sept 2022! . Our group will build closed-loop machine learning techniques and interpretable, data-driven models to understand the step-by-step computations of the brain.

So proud of @Christa_A_Baker - get in touch to do a postdoc in the Baker lab @NCState - Christa is a fabulous mentor, scientist and role model and her lab will be a trailblazer in solving the neural mechanisms underlying acoustic communication in flies.

Excited to share that the Baker Lab will open in Biological Sciences @NCState Jan 2023! We will dissect the neural mechanisms underlying hearing in flies, and how those mechanisms are shaped by evolution. Will be recruiting at all levels so please reach out if interested.
