Their preprint is online here: https://t.co/kYD3gBMAxO and you can explore the data set via an online browser here: https://t.co/WQk5RumcBX and a basic simulator based on these data here: https://t.co/IDBMoLQVRk (3/4)

A fundamental problem in neuroscience is understanding how a network's properties dictate its function. Connectomics provides one avenue to predict nervous system function. To test this...

They used stimulation and recording from individual cells and measured the weights of 23,427 pairs of neurons. Incredible amount of effort ! (2/4)

A major obstacle to modeling the nervous system of the worm has been the unknown weights of the connections. Which are excitatory or inhibitory and how strong? Well, the lab of @AndrewLeifer has put out a Neural Signal propagation atlas to address this critical gap (1/4)

Fun to interactively play on the @OpenWorm site with our best mapped nervous system yet, and to think about building a virtual organism:
Excited about the publication of our state-of-the-art 3D neuron atlas of #Celegans, the world's cutest worm. It's crazy how much smarts it gets from just 302 neurons!

How friendly is worm community? We converged on finding w Cohen and Emmons lab. Papers came out together (below). Started Glasgow #Worm23 w stimulating discussions over haggis pizza w Netta Cohen to discuss collaborations 1) https://t.co/ROg9X9sK00 2)

#Serotonin is a common but complex target of psychiatric drugs. A new study by the @MIT lab of Steven Flavell provides a deep but also brain-wide look at its role in producing behavior in C. elegans. https://t.co/AFSYACrsKM

A long shot, but are any of the authors on the RF diffusion paper following me, and would be willing to chat?
