Happy to share the CA3 dataset is published. First large-scale dense connectomics from hippocampus. First connectomic dataset imaged in @princetonneuro.bsky.social. A harbinger of many larger datasets to come (for both). doi.org/10.1038/s415... #hippocampus But my personal favorite is (1/2)

Here's a spotlight article on our recent study! Tissue ultrastructure can be resolved with X-rays, which impacts not only how we can study neuronal circuits but soft tissues more generally. Kudos to Ana Diaz, @adrianawanner.bsky.social, @andreas-t-schaefer.bsky.social and all authors.

Scientists at the Swiss Light Source #SLS and @crick.ac.uk have succeeded in mapping a piece of brain tissue 🧠 in 3D at unprecedented resolution using X-rays – non-destructively. The breakthrough overcomes a long-standing technological barrier that had limited the use of X-rays for such studies.

Wouldn't it be great if we could not only image large connectomic volumes but also completely reconstruct them? And if a whole mouse brain project didn't cost billions? With the PATHFINDER preprint (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...), we preview a future where it doesn't have to.
