Amazing paper! Very proud to have helped a tiny bit, but Mert deserves all the credit. What a tour de force!!

Congratulations, Jerome!

Oh Brian. I am so, so sorry. I have no words,but yours were so beautiful.

May her memory be a blessing.

Thank you, Gonzalo!

OMG, I am honored, Matt!

Thank you, Chris!

Thank you so much Ana Marija!!

you are too kind, @csdashm.com -- all the code management, discipline and general brilliance was managed by @fra-loe.fediscience.org.ap.brid.gy with buy-in from the whole team

Thank you to the person who first showed me how to trace neurons!

thank you, Maria...so much work from so many great people! We tried our best to build a resource for the field, but I think it's actually a paper that's still readable!

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

we also released hundreds of cell-type specific split-GAL4 lines matched to connectome defined cell types!

Find the lines:

And of course, the whole connectome dataset is available on neuprint:

Explore & discover to your heart's content — or let us know what you'd like to know and we can help!

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:

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✨

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.
