#pristionchus — Public Fediverse posts

@manlius Yes, a lot, but generated mostly with #CATMAID which is more purpose-built for #connectomics.

An early reconstruction of a neural circuit done with #TrakEM2 was by Davi Bock et al. 2011 on the mouse visual cortex, "Network anatomy and in vivo physiology of visual cortical neurons" https://www.nature.com/articles/nature09802

Another one with #TrakEM2 was by Dan Bumbarger et al. 2013 "System-wide rewiring underlies behavioral differences in predatory and bacterial-feeding nematodes" where they compared #celegans with another nematode, #pristionchus pacificus that has the exact same amount of neurons but connected differently https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867412015000

Later ones with #CATMAID include:

The polychaete worm #Platynereis by @jekely 's group, "Whole-animal #connectome and cell-type complement of the three-segmented Platynereis dumerilii larva" Verazto et al. 2020 https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.08.21.260984v2.abstract

And all of ours in #Drosophila larva. See the #VirtualFlyBrain server which hosts the #vEM of the whole central nervous system and lists all the neurons included in each published paper (currently 23), shared among the papers and all connecting to each other: https://l1em.catmaid.virtualflybrain.org/?pid=1&zp=108250&yp=82961.59999999999&xp=54210.799999999996&tool=tracingtool&sid0=1&s0=2.4999999999999996&help=true&layout=h(XY,%20%7B%20type:%20%22neuron-search%22,%20id:%20%22neuron-search-1%22,%20options:%20%7B%22annotation-name%22:%20%22papers%22%7D%7D,%200.6)

The 24th will come soon, featuring the complete whole #Drosophila larval brain with ~2,500 neurons. It's under review.

@albertcardona Wow that’s cool! And after all those years, it’s still an important paper, especially when you look at feeding. The Hobert lab is working at the moment on a complete #pristionchus #connectome.

@leoboeger The famous #pristionchus! Proud to have helped Dan Bumbarger [1] back in Zurich in 2010 or so when he visited me to learn how to register his serial sections with #TrakEM2. It’s been a while.

👋 🐘 I'm new here, so hi! I'm a PhD student in #neuroscience studying the tiny brain of the amazing #pristionchus, a #nematode like #Celegans, except they eat ‘em✌️Love to connect over science 🧠
