If you haven't heard of light-microscopy-based connectomics (LICONN) yet, check this out. It's going to blow your mind :D
New era for brain mapping, latest from Johann Danzl lab in @nature.com. Light-microscopy connectomics is at single-synapse resolution. Engineered hydrogel embedding + expansion, deep learning-based segmentation, and molecularly resolved reconstructions: axons, spines, connectivity, all visible.

More than 40% of the neurons in the FeCO are club neurons that encode low amplitude, high frequency vibrations. Are these neurons proprioceptive? exteroceptive? both? We turned to connectomics for clues to figure it out!

It's past Halloween, but this made me laugh.
Who is that playing trick-or-treat? That cheeky monster flashing its spook-tacular grin is actually a visual trick. Captured here are mouse brain cells using expansion microscopy. This approach has various applications, incl. tracing neurons for connectomics studies & also scaring the onlookers. 👻
