Interested in the mechanisms shaping the extraordinary complexity of the connectome?

Then check out our new preprint, lead by
Francis Normand with a stellar team, showing how geometry constrains connectome architecture:

New findings help to explain why it has been so challenging to predict brain signaling from the connectome alone.

Worms help untangle brain structure/function mystery
The synaptic connectome of most animals bears little resemblance to functional brain maps, but it can still predict neuronal activity, according to two preprints that tackle the puzzle in C. elegans.

Excited to share the latest preprint from the lab:

Rethinking scale in network neuroscience: Contributions and opportunities at the nanoscale

We argue that there’s a natural compatibility of network neuroscience tools with synapse-resolved connectomes.

This is my favourite YouTube video of all time, and since today marks three years since its release, I thought I’d share it. It’s a brilliant example of edutainment, and has inspired my own talks. We scientists could learn a lot about presenting in a fun and engaging way!
