- This massive effort was made possible by the incomparable Aljoscha Nern and an amazing team of experts, passionate neuroscientists, and all-around brilliant humans. 🙌💡We all pitched in to analyze, curate, and visualize all the beautiful neurons of the fly visual system.
- Yes, the paper is cool... BUT if you’re a fan of fly vision and neuroanatomy, the Supplemental Materials are the real treat 🎉 We made a catalog of all the cells and it's ✨beautiful✨ 🧭 Interactive explorer: reiserlab.github.io/male-drosoph...
- we're trying to make connectome analysis as accessible as possible #openscience 💻🔍 We’re sharing all our code so you can reproduce our figures or go deeper into the analysis: 🪰🧠 github.com/reiserlab/ma...
- And of course, the whole connectome dataset is available on neuprint: 🪰🧠 neuprint.janelia.org?dataset=opti... Explore & discover to your heart's content — or let us know what you'd like to know and we can help!
- we also released hundreds of cell-type specific split-GAL4 lines matched to connectome defined cell types! Find the lines: 🪰🧠 splitgal4.janelia.org/cgi-bin/spli...
- This project was a marathon, and we are all so proud of the finished product. Thanks to all 70 co-authors who contributed in so many ways. #connectome #flyvision #openscience
- Congratulations 🥂 amazing work
