It is with a heavy heart that I share the unexpected news that our colleague, friend, and mentor Daniel Madison passed away on Thursday, October 9. - Reposted by Kristina MichevaE11 Bio is excited to unveil PRISM technology for mapping brain wiring with simple light microscopes. Today, brain mapping in humans and other mammals is bottlenecked by accurate neuron tracing. PRISM uses molecular ID codes and AI to help neurons trace themselves. Read more: e11.bio/blog/prism

- Reposted by Kristina MichevaIt was a good experience to step back and briefly take stock of the amazing progress in connectomics since I started working on this stuff (20 years ago!) thanks as well to @natrevneuro.nature.com for the constructive editorial interactions.

- Reposted by Kristina MichevaReminder that @europepmc.org is a mirror of Pubmed with better search and that it indexes *all* bioRxiv preprints (as well as ResearchSquare), not just the ones funded by NIH like chauvinist Pubmed

- Happy to share a new biorxiv manuscript with @owen-lab.bsky.social where we “slice and dice” synapses with array tomography and find subclasses with different glutamate receptor composition 🧪

- Reposted by Kristina MichevaOur paper is out just in time for #EM_Monday! It is about a specialized neuron-specific ER, called the spine apparatus, which is found close to synapses and has a very peculiar shape. If you think neurons are special, the spine apparatus is their🦄 horn! But how does it form?! doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...
