Connectivity of single neurons classifies cell subtypes in mouse brains Nature Methods - This Resource presents a method to define connectivity types of neurons based on a spatially registered large database containing more than 20,000 neuronal reconstructions. A brain...

In this article, we systematically analyzed how connectivity information complements other single-neuron features for classification of cell types and subtypes.
This work is part of a broader effort by the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network. We will update soon!

Opinion | What Autocrats Want From Academics: Servility In 1931, Italian scholars were made to take loyalty oaths. Will that happen to us?

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

We scientists would love to be left alone to do our work, but powerful people won't give us that option. Science, as the pursuit of truth, however imperfect, is fundamentally challenging to power. If we want to keep the option to do the science we want, we have to work at making science resilient. 🧪

Avui és #11Feb, el Dia Internacional de la Dona i la Nena en Ciència.

6️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ #científiques visitaran escoles i instituts d'arreu del territori per a trencar els estereotips de gènere, per a què les nenes no es posin límits! A totes elles, gràcies per a ser referents! 👏

Neuronal diversity and stereotypy at multiple scales through whole brain morphometry - Nature Communications Here the authors analyzed 3.7 petavoxels of 3D imaging data from 204 mouse brains, aiming to comprehensively characterize diverse morphological and modular patterns conserved across six spatial scales...

Great amount of work by the team in Nanjing to integrate as many single neuron morphology data as possible at multiple spatial scales in whole mouse brains.
Focusing on the boundary between stereotypy and diversity, key for the neuronal typing open challenge.
