We are a neuroscience laboratory interested in neural mechanisms of social communication.
Princeton, NJ
Joined April 2015
Excited to announce the completion of the first adult brain connectome - FlyWire is the neuronal wiring diagram of a Drosophila melanogaster brain with >130K neurons and >32M synapses. Explore at Check out the preprints:.
We are releasing a whole-brain connectome of the fruit fly, including ~130k annotated neurons and tens of millions of typed synapses!. Explore the connectome: Reconstruction paper: Annotation paper: 1/6

Don’t miss out on the Neural Mechanisms of Acoustic Communication GRC - this May in Maine!.
1) Time to submit abstracts! The 2024 Neural Mechanisms of Acoustic Communication GRC is drawing closer. There's an awesome line-up of speakers working with birds, flies, monkeys, fish, snakes and more. Additional speakers will be selected from abstracts. Please spread the word!

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!.

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.

A major achievement for our community! So grateful to the worldwide FlyWire team who worked tirelessly to reach this milestone. And the beautiful EM data from Zheng et al.

Also excited to announce that @BenjoCowley is starting his own lab @CSHL in the Fall. If you want to work on neural network models of the brain, this is the lab to join!.
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.
