Since the '50 largest neurons' #connectome render with Amy Robinson Sterling FlyWire has made it's way around the world, I'm sharing an animated version. Including: Information flow from the ocelli, 50 largest #neurons, and a LOT of #synapses on one MASSIVE neuron. #neuroscience

Over 50,000 annotations have been added to the connectome by the FlyWire community! This APL neuron, tagged by M. W. Pleijzier Zhihao Zheng, is 20x longer than a fly's whole body and is the longest cell in the brain. Proofread by labs of Greg Jefferis Murthy Lab Sebastian Seung

I’ve made this video as an intuition pump for the density of #synapses in the #brain. This volume ~ grain of sand, has >3.2 million synapses (orange cubes). Peeling them away leaves only inputs on 2 #neurons. Zooming in, we see the synapses localized to the dendritic spines. #b3d

Max Hodak envisions a brain-computer interface inspired by Avatar: a living, high-bandwidth “13th cranial nerve.” Instead of implants, his team is grafting stem cell–derived neurons into the brain via hydrogel. A biological USB cable -- 100,000 electrodes, a billion synapses.

How do different brain cell types connect with each other? We're mapping the brain to learn more. In this video from our #ElectronMicroscopy team, we see how complex brain cells can be. #BrainAwarenessWeek

This is the first brain map showing how decisions are made. Each colored dot represents a neuron that is firing during the process.

My latest #neuro #visualization: An intuition pump on connectivity 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.

For the first time, scientists analysed the connectome for part of the brain in the common octopus involved in long-term memory. Here, they use #ElectronMicroscopy to trace the length of an axon micron by micron.

We've uploaded a fruit fly. We took the FlyWire connectome of the fruit fly brain, applied a simple neuron model (Philip Shiu Nature 2024) and used it to control a MuJoCo physics-simulated body, closing the loop from neural activation to action. A few things I want to say about what this means and where we're going at eon. 🧵

In a fly's brain, there are some 140,000 neurons that connect via 54.5 million synapses. Researchers have now mapped *all of them*. That and more of the best in Science Magazine and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: Vid: Tyler Sloan/FlyWire

We might have just witnessed the first real mind upload. 🤯 Scientists scanned a fruit fly brain neuron by neuron, synapse by synapse, recreated it digitally, and placed it inside a simulated body. The fly walked. Groomed. Fed. No training. No prompts. No learning phase. The behavior was already in the wiring. That’s not just neuroscience anymore. That’s the first glimpse of digital minds.

Every moment we remember is encoded by changes in the synapses connecting brain cells. Now, in a mouse study in nature, our own @fpolleux and Attila Losonczy labs have for the first time imaged these synaptic changes as an animal forms memories. Learn more! #neuroscience #memory

There's a fruit fly walking around right now that was never born. eon just released a video where they took a real fly's connectome — the wiring diagram of its brain — and simulated it. Dropped it into a virtual body. It started walking. Grooming. Feeding. Doing what flies do. Nobody taught it to walk. No training data, no gradient descent toward fly-like behavior. This is the opposite of how AI works. They rebuilt the mind from the inside, neuron by neuron, and behavior just... emerged. It's the first time a biological organism has been recreated not by modeling what it does, but by modeling what it is. A human brain is 6 OOM more neurons. That's a scaling problem, something we've gotten very good at solving. So what happens when we have a working copy of the human mind?
