Speaking of #celegans ... now the wireless #connectome!

"The neuropeptidergic connectome of C. elegans" by Lidia Ripoll et al. 2022, a collaboration between Isabel Beets', Petra Vertes' and Bill Schafer's labs https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.10.30.514396v2

"This connectome is characterized by a high connection density, extended signaling cascades, autocrine foci, and a decentralized topology, with a large, highly interconnected core containing three constituent communities sharing similar patterns of input connectivity. Intriguingly, several of the most important nodes in this connectome are little-studied neurons that are specialized for peptidergic neuromodulation."

Tony Zador: "We used BARseq in situ sequencing to identify genes in ***1.2 million neurons*** throughout the mouse brain. We found that cortical areas with similar cell types are also interconnected. We call this “wire-by-similarity.” "
