As the first (and so far, only) male brain, we compared this connectome to the previously published #FlyWire #FAFB female dataset to investigate the structural differences across male and female brain connectomes. 5/10

Comparison with previous female connectomes reveals sex differences across the adult brain at synaptic resolution for the first time. Full news story and preprint describing this massive team effort coming soon!

This dataset provides two major advances. It is the first fully proofread and annotated brain and nerve cord connectome with 166,696 proofread neurons annotated with 11,691 cell types. It is also the first connectome of a male brain.

Congratulations. Sorry that I won’t have the chance to bump into you at Bob’s anymore but hope the move goes really well!
