The brain as it's never been seen before.

Scientists have created the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammal brain to date.

The MICrONS papers are finally out. Very happy to have been part of this. Joint work of so many labs lead by @andreastolias.bsky.social and Xaq Pitkow. Large scale efforts and data resources like these combined with cutting edge AI methods are great avenues to drive neuroscience forward.

Nature Portfolio @natureportfolio.nature.com · Apr 9

A package of research papers from the MICrONS (Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks) consortium in Nature and Nature Methods provides a detailed map of mouse brain cell structure and connections, offering insights into how they relate to activity in the mouse brain. 🧪

The MICrONS Project

An unprecedented dataset of high resolution anatomical images of individual cells in mouse visual cortex, mapped on to their responses. This integrated view of function and structure lays a foundation for discovering the computational bases of cortical circuits.

excit*ed*, of course 🤦‍♂️ always read again before pressing post.

Really exciting about this work that just got accepted to ICLR as an oral. We use implicit networks to find stimulus invariance manifolds and then group neurons by aligning them to each other. Very fruitful collaboration lead by
@neuralbash.bsky.social and @lucabaroni.bsky.social.

🧠 Meet LAMINR: Where neurons meet their match—finding common patterns that keep them excited 🔥💘

LAMINR learns & aligns invariance manifolds of sensory neurons to reveal shared properties.
