Congratulations to the citizen scientists who have now mapped over 10,000 cells in Eyewire II! This animation by @amyneurons shows ~1,000 bipolar cells.

Excited to share that there are a few Eyewire players who landed a Princeton summer internship!
Replying to @FlyWireNews
Thank you to all 163 students who applied for our summer internship. Congratulations to the 15 students representing 6 countries who landed a spot. Keep an eye out for their projects later this summer!

It took endless hours in the lab and a massive effort, but we're finally here: Eyewire II is officially out!
Huge thanks to our amazing co-authors and everyone else who supported us along the way. So grateful for the hard work—it’s been a privilege pushing through this together.
Meet Eyewire II: a new connectomic resource for the mouse retina.
~1 mm² of retina at nm resolution, with synapses and circuits of ca. 100,000 neurons + visual responses from the ~400 neurons shown in the video!

Thanks to our funders, without whom this project would not be possible! @RPB_org @NIH @USBrainAlliance @ERC_Research
Eyewire is brought to you by a core team of labs at @uni_tue @NorthwesternU @PrincetonNeuro

Research to Prevent Blindness (RPB) recently announced that a first-of-its-kind $950,000 RPB Transformational Team Science Award has been made to the @eye_wire II project. According to Gregory Schwartz, PhD, Eyewire II will create an open-source data resource that will be available to the entire research field, with particular relevance to work in neuroscience and vision science.@NUFeinbergMed

We are delighted to announce that thanks to generous support from Research to Prevent Blindness @RPB_org, Eyewire II is now officially underway!
RPB has granted @NUFeinbergMed a $950,000 RPB Transformational Team Science Award to support the @eye_wire II project to create the first complete connectome in the mammalian central nervous system with @Princeton and University of Tübingen. bit.ly/RPBTTSA

ALT This render shows 370 retinal cells that compute visual information, such as motion. Many of these cells send information from the back of the eye directly into the brain. These cells are part of Eyewire 2, which is building the world’s largest synapse resolution retinal connectomics dataset to help decipher the cells and circuits that make vision possible.
