Very happy for this @ejneuroscience.bsky.social editorial on the importance of diverse research animals in neuroscience. We make the case that embracing a plurality of model organisms enriches the field and accelerates both basic and translational research. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Excited to share our new #biorxivpreprint
We discovered that the fruit fly #drosophila erecta requires food odor to mate and arousal is further enhanced by social group motion.
Cross-species analysis of brain activity reveals a novel gate evolved from within a conserved circuit

As the first (and so far, only) male brain, we compared this connectome to the previously published #FlyWire #FAFB female dataset to investigate the structural differences across male and female brain connectomes. 5/10

βSexual dimorphism in the complete connectome of the Drosophila male central nervous systemβ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Some fly neurons are βdimorphicβ, existing in both males and females but connecting to different neighboring neurons. Neighbors may be βisomorphicβ, the same in both male and female; or sex specific; or dimorphic themselves. Here's an example, the type AOTU012, present in left and right instances.
Wow congratulations @jkohl.bsky.social! Proud scientific parent :)
And here's the official announcement from our Janelia collaborators with a fantastic visualisation from @philiphubbard.bsky.social. See more at male-cns.janelia.org/media. Downloads are humming and we have solved the first data access queries. Happy exploring! #drosophila #connectomics #malecns.
We're very proud to be releasing the complete male fly CNS connectome!
It's the product of a huge team effort here at Janelia in partnership with the Cambridge Fly Connectomics group (@jefferis.bsky.social and colleagues), plus invaluable collaborators.
More soon...

Comparison with previous female connectomes reveals sex differences across the adult brain at synaptic resolution for the first time. Full news story and preprint describing this massive team effort coming soon!
This dataset provides two major advances. It is the first fully proofread and annotated brain and nerve cord connectome with 166,696 proofread neurons annotated with 11,691 cell types. It is also the first connectome of a male brain.
Exciting news for #drosophila #connectomics and #neuroscience enthusiasts: the Drosophila male central nervous system connectome is now live for exploration. Find out more at the landing page hosted by our Janelia FlyEM collaborators www.janelia.org/project-team....
