The paper releases a complete larval Drosophila CNS connectome with automated segmentations and highlights the need for improved machine vision for proofreading.

This study examines how food availability and type influence larval development in Platynereis dumerilii, showing that starvation slows development while feeding promotes brain and posterior growth.

The paper combines brain-wide activity imaging with electron microscopy to identify a distributed neural network for processing threatening somatosensory stimuli in Drosophila larvae.

This study uses cross-species connectomics to show that olfactory circuits have conserved core elements and species-specific rewiring linked to ecological differences.

The paper develops a statistic called XORness to measure functional complexity in nanoscale connectomes and shows it is high in both real and generated connectomes with similar network statistics.

The paper maps the synaptic-resolution connectome of a Drosophila larva brain, identifying neuron types, circuit motifs, and structural features.

BigStitcher reconstructs high-resolution image datasets from cleared and expanded biological samples, compensating optical distortions for single-cell analysis.

The paper shows ciliary and rhabdomeric photoreceptors in Platynereis larvae functionally integrate to determine vertical swimming direction based on light ratios, acting as a depth gauge.
