The connectome of the entire male Drosophila central nervous system is out!! Acquired using FIB-SEM @ 8x8x8nm, we aligned 7.5 mio 2D images aligned into one seamless 3D volume, which was used to segment & proofread neurons and synapses. @hhmijanelia.bsky.social

Very excited about this project: we believe that 3D anatomical atlases have a huge potential for developmental biology. As a starting point, we made the first ever Drosophila wing disc atlas!

15 years in the making, we confirmed that mitochondria - the powerhouse of the cell - have an unusual localization in patients who experience psychosis (including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders). You’ll never guess what kind of patient cells we used to make this discovery… 🧵

mitochondria from bipolar patients are closer to the nucleus in these images; control patients' are spread out further

First example (attractor) solids with occlusion. The end of the second example is a kind of emitters with transparency (and different blending modes are possible).

LUT color mapping for spots/particles rendering in #bigvolumeviewer is almost finished. The speed is mapped by color (middle) and color + spot size (right).

One step at a time, first just trying to verify the upload of the LUT texture to the GPU. So I mapped it to whatever (here on a spot shape). Looks weird, but I like those intermediate "debug" results. It seems to work; now I can implement a proper depth color-coding. #bigvolumebrowser

Back to work on #bigvolumebrowser, I've added the import of point clouds that change over time. The test data generation was a pleasant detour into the world of attractors (Thomas' cyclically symmetric is shown).
