This was a funny experience, my first 'hit' on YouTube where I experienced a whole spectrum of human opinions.

The three most common comments were:
- Whoever made this music is an idiot
- Whoever made this music is a genius
- Can it play Doom?

I'm reposting this video as it is going to be relevant again.
A narrated primer on the field of #connectomics.
With some historical re-enactments, a few easter eggs for the real #neurds, and some of my best #neuro visualizations.

Our work in connectomics is featured in @asimovpress.bsky.social! We’re building new tools to map the brain with greater precision and scale!

Together with Christian Tischer, 3D rendering of multi-res microscopy data was added to MoBIE FIJI plugin using #BigVolumeViewer.
Check any remote datasets (like @dudinlab.bsky.social maps of protists using ExM) in the highest quality.

Our lab is looking for a enthusiastic researcher with the master degree (Computational Biology, Computer Science, Game development) to develop next-gen computer games to model organ development in 4D. If you are interested drop me an email: k.wabnik@upm.es

I'm surprised when I hear that people still don't find mundane utility in LLMs. I'll mention two simple things: Perplexity Pro will read several websites and generate essays with 10+ citations leveraging papers and industry websites. Immensely useful compared to regular search 1/

This is a big deal!

I really enjoyed making this #neuro #visualization for @e11bio.bsky.social last November. A pleasure working with them, the entire way through. I'm really excited to see their technology scale up.

I was doing some research for a lecture I'm putting together and TIL that these may be the first ever drawings of #neurons by Otto Deiters published posthumously c1865.

Anyone know of drawings that pre-date these?

my lab (www.tuthill.casa) at UW is hiring a research assistant/tech. basic scope is to apply machine learning/computer vision tools to measure and model 3D animal behavior and mechanics. we are a diverse, collaborative, curiosity-driven group.

Happy New Year everyone!

Here's a mashup of some of my favorite clips from this year, set to old-timey ragtime piano.

I hope you enjoy having this song stuck in your head as much as I do.

The cortex is filled with excitatory local synapses, but we know little about their role in brain function. New experimental tools, along with ideas from artificial intelligence, are poised to change that.

Tyler Sloan discusses why neuroscience needs to overcome its legacy of minimalism and embrace the contemporary challenge of representing whole-nervous-system connectivity.

A #neuro #data #visualization:
An intuition pump on information processing in the #brain.
~75K #neurons in the #MICrONS mm³.
I/O segregated by layers, function is columnar; the cortical column is the unit of cortical computation.
A typical #Pyramidal cell has over >10K input synapses.

This #neuro #visualization begins with the a #pianola plot of a few neurons from a sleeping mouse. Filtered bands presented on the encephalogram subplot. Sharp wave ripples shown. Then fades in the #manifold scatter, surface and trajectories.
