Conserved neural circuit structure across Drosophila larval development revealed by comparative connectomics
During postembryonic development, the nervous system must adapt to a growing body. How changes in neuronal structure and connectivity contribute to the maintenance of appropriate circuit function remains unclear. Previously , we measured the cellular neuroanatomy underlying synaptic connectivity in Drosophila (Schneider-Mizell et al., 2016). Here, we examined how neuronal morphology and connect...
متن کاملMapping the Alzheimer’s Brain with Connectomics
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. As an incurable, progressive, and neurodegenerative disease, it causes cognitive and memory deficits. However, the biological mechanisms underlying the disease are not thoroughly understood. In recent years, non-invasive neuroimaging and neurophysiological techniques [e.g., structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion MRI, ...
متن کاملConnectomics: comprehensive approaches for whole-brain mapping.
The aim of connectomics analysis is to understand whole-brain neural connections. This is accomplished using new biotechnologies. Here, we provide an overview of the recent progress in connectomics analysis. The entire neural network of an organism was revealed for the first time in the nematode. Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) have an advantage of their limited number of neurons and their ...
متن کاملQuantitative neuroanatomy for connectomics in Drosophila
Neuronal circuit mapping using electron microscopy demands laborious proofreading or reconciliation of multiple independent reconstructions. Here, we describe new methods to apply quantitative arbor and network context to iteratively proofread and reconstruct circuits and create anatomically enriched wiring diagrams. We measured the morphological underpinnings of connectivity in new and existin...
متن کاملThe Eyes as Window to the Mind.
In this issue,Moriuchi et al. report on a fascinating study (1) on a long-standing question: Why do children with autism look less at other people’s eyes, relative to typically developing children? The authors pit two theories against each other: gaze aversion and gaze indifference. Their results point to the latter, not the former, although the question of why remains. One now quite old idea i...
