The vocabulary of systems neuroscience may appear daunting to many. Here's a short dictionary of common terms. BTW if you use them in your papers and grants you will have greater success

Of course, ‘another’ fundamental discovery that came from genetic analyses in an invertebrate. Delighted to see this recognition and totally thrilled for Victor Ambrose and Gary Ruvkun. Respect the worm.
This is amazing news! Congratulations Victor and @UMassChan

Typically understated from my friend, collaborator and co-author, Davi Bock. A visionary scientist who set something great in motion 10y ago.
Hard to overstate how pleased I am that the #flywire consortium converted our FAFB ("Full Adult Fly Brain") EM volume into a connectome, and that the resulting science has been (and will be) so impactful. Thanks to everyone involved.

Here it is! A huge milestone in neuroscience – the complete connectome of the fly brain from the FlyWire team (@FlyWireNews). In this special issue, we have 9 research articles. I’ll try to summarize them in a couple threads starting here 🧵

Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature. This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium! https://t.co/Mrz7Yrx1eU Check out the thread for an overview of the 9 #flywire papers published today

Big day for neuroscience & the end of the beginning for whole brain connectomics. Shout out to @sdorkenw and Philipp Schlegel, first authors of the connectome papers, @MurthyLab @SebastianSeung for establishing #flywire to make this possible and @dddavi for birthing this dataset.

Just in case you’ve missed the news about the fly connectome. @dddavi and co’s volume fully annotated by @FlyWireNews and so many people.
Zoom into the #flywire fly brain courtesy of another of Philipp Schlegel's (@flyconnectome @CamZoology @MRC_LMB) amazing 3D sequences. Then read his piece on the https://t.co/AU2Rppm0iJ blog to find out more about how the #connectome became a reality https://t.co/CLFgjFGCD8.

Shocking myopia. How about reading some of the Drosophila literature? https://t.co/kkvg1aCLRZ

The field is grappling with whether to modify the long-standing theory of reward prediction error—or abandon it entirely.

Proud to share our paper in @Nature that Andrei and I co-first authored with @TFlogel @SWC_Neuro We recorded ~15000 neurons across the brain while mice made perceptual decisions to reveal how sensory evidence controls actions through global neural dynamics
nature.com
Nature - Brain-wide recordings in mice show that learning leads to sensory evidence integration in many brain areas simultaneously, allowing sensory input to drive global movement preparatory...

1/6 Exciting news! Our paper is now online in @CellCellPress! We've developed PRESYNAPTIC sensor and silencer for peptidergic transmission. The sensor detects LDCV release events, and the silencer specifically degrades neuropeptides inside the LDCV. https://t.co/mSvwVxVCgU
