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

Incredibly proud and grateful to be part of the #FlyWire team that made this happen. This was an immensely collaborative project - on every level from early open data sharing, to tool building, to analysis - over many years, across many institutions. It's been a fantastic journey.
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!.Check out the thread for an overview of the 9 #flywire papers published today

Our friends at @MRC_LMB annotated all neurons, analyzed their stereotypy, and developed an answer to the question: "how to define a cell types?".
Building the FlyWire #connectome from the FAFB brain was a massive team effort. But neuroscientists need to find their favourite neurons in this huge dataset. We report an indexed parts list, systematically annotating all 127k neurons (Schlegel et al 1/7.

@amyneurons FlyWire is an extremely collaborative project. Over 200 community members contributed >100 edits each to correct the automated segmentation! Flywire uses EM data published by @ddavi et al., typed synapses from @janfunkey @gsxej, @herrsaalfeld et al. 5/6

@amyneurons In our paper, we analyzed the ocellar circuit (image), produced a projectome between all brain regions, and computed information flow from input to output neurons. These barely scratch the surface of what one can now analyze! . all ocellar neurons: 4/6
