The connectome of the entire male Drosophila central nervous system is out!! Acquired using FIB-SEM @ 8x8x8nm, we aligned 7.5 mio 2D images aligned into one seamless 3D volume, which was used to segment & proofread neurons and synapses. @hhmijanelia.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New era for brain mapping, latest from Johann Danzl lab in @nature.com. Light-microscopy connectomics is at single-synapse resolution. Engineered hydrogel embedding + expansion, deep learning-based segmentation, and molecularly resolved reconstructions: axons, spines, connectivity, all visible.

X-ray nanotomography can be your new friend for neuronal imaging. In our new #preprint (tinyurl.com/nanoXneuro) we present advances that push the spatial resolution limit for X-ray holographic nanotomography (XNH). We can now resolve synapses. 🧵
