Insights from Comparative Connectomics in Drosophila
Offered By: Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics (IPAM) via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore insights from comparative connectomics in Drosophila through this 44-minute conference talk presented by Philipp Schlegel from the University of Cambridge at IPAM's Mathematical Approaches for Connectome Analysis Workshop. Delve into the world of fruit fly neuroscience and discover the significance of the first full brain connectome of an adult animal. Learn about the FlyWire resource, a ~140,000-neuron connectome, and its comparison with the previously published "hemibrain" dataset. Gain valuable insights on interpreting edge weights in connectome graphs, understand a new robust definition for cell types within connectomes, and examine the challenges of distinguishing biological variability from technical noise in connectome analysis. This talk offers a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in Drosophila connectomics and their implications for neuroscience research.
