#connectomics — Public Fediverse posts

If interested in this topic, Prof. Bing Brunton gave a talk at #Cosyne2026 which is very much worth watching:

Among other topics, Bing presents the minimal network for the oscillatory behaviour that sustains walking, and also the embodiment of a connectome by plugging it into a virtual mechanical model of the fly, #MuJoCo from the #AnyBrain #HHMIJanelia project team.

Postdoc position: Career Returner Fellowship

"The LMB is proud to launch a three-year fully funded fellowship for scientists who have had a career break of 12 months or more."

"At the LMB, we understand that stepping away from research – even briefly – can affect career progression. That is why we have created a dedicated postdoctoral fellowship to support researchers who have taken a career break of 12 months or more, for any reason, for example parental leave, health reasons, caregiving, a career change or other personal circumstances."

Happy to discuss applications to our lab in #Drosophila #connectomics, #ElectronMicroscopy or #ComputerVision applied to #BioimageInformatics.

By the way, unlike what the piece says, Murrhy and Seung did NOT "have the idea to use those images to identify and map the connections between each visible neuron, creating a connectome".

That idea had been floating about the field since Brenner and his C. elegans connectome, and those in a position to execute were the groups at Janelia with discretionary HHMI finding, like Rubin, Bock and myself. And we did.

What the Seung lab did was capitalise on the published EM volume of the adult female fly brain to apply more effective image registration and neuron segmentation approaches than the ones tried so far at that point by the Fly EM Project Team at Janelia. Synapses were detected by Julia Buhmann in saalfeld's lab at Janelia as well. The research groups led by Seung, Jefferis (at MRC LMB) and Murthy then put in the gargantuan effort of proofreading to deliver the published connectome.
