Axons organize into micro-tracts around the cortical vasculature

The paper examines the organization of axons around cortical vasculature in mice, finding that axons form micro-tracts around capillaries, which may facilitate neurovascular coupling.

Cell-type-specific parallel pathways in the canonical cortical microcircuit

The paper maps connectivity in mouse primary visual cortex, revealing cell-type-specific parallel pathways for top-down and bottom-up processing.

A quantitative census of millions of postsynaptic structures in a large electron microscopy volume of mouse visual cortex

The paper presents a computational pipeline for classifying postsynaptic targets in neuronal meshes, achieving high accuracy on mouse visual cortex data and demonstrating generalizability to other connectomes.

Generative network modeling reveals quantitative definitions of bilateral symmetry exhibited by a whole insect brain connectome

The paper uses generative network models to analyze bilateral symmetry in a Drosophila larval brain connectome, identifying significant differences in connection probabilities and proposing adjusted definitions of symmetry.

The connectome of an insect brain

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

Bisected graph matching improves automated pairing of bilaterally homologous neurons from connectomes

This paper introduces a modified graph matching algorithm for better pairing of bilaterally homologous neurons in connectomes by leveraging contralateral connections.

Connectal Coding: Discovering the Structures Linking Cognitive Phenotypes to Individual Histories

The paper introduces a formal statistical framework for connectal coding to link cognitive phenotypes to individual histories across different experimental modalities and phylogeny.
