🧠 Today marks 40 years of #Connectomics.
On 12 November 1986, The Mind of a Worm revealed the world's first neural wiring diagram. Those 302 neurons laid the foundation for a field that is transforming #neuroscience.
Watch the story of how it all began at the LMB.

Connectomics has always meant one lab, one specimen, years of work. We’re building the workflow to do it at scale.

💯 There are absolutely loads of constraints in real brains that are ignored in standard ANNs: energy yes, but also physical space (have you seen how crammed those EM connectomics stacks are?), development, noise tolerance, fault tolerance, etc

In our review article, we lay out these challenges and show how network communities—and modern community detection methods—offer a powerful path forward. We also highlight key methodological advances that make community detection especially suited for modern connectomics.

We're closing in on 20+ years of connectomics. There have been remarkable advances both in the datasets we study and the methods we use to interrogate them.
One of the most exciting recent developments is the generation of whole-brain, nanometer-scale connectomes.
