Our scientists with over 150 collaborators have released the largest functional map and wiring diagram of the brain to date – seven years in the making. Today’s 1.6 petabyte release marks a historic day for neuroscience. This moonshot milestone will further efforts towards understanding the cortical mechanisms of intelligence. Congratulations to the teams who made this possible.
How does the brain work? Scientists are closer to the answer with the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date. 🧵

I'm very happy to share our new study on how corticothalamic circuits regulate motivated behaviors via depolarization block mechanisms. Shout out to the talented postdoc Guillermo Aquino-Miranda for leading this project and the co-authors for their key contributions. 👏🏽🎉🎊🥳🧠🐀

#ALBADiversityWeek 2024 starts today! 🎉 This week, we are focusing on the toxic #AcademicCulture and its effects on #MentalHealth. Making a career in the current research culture can take a high toll on physical and mental health: an unfair notion of scientific excellence that leads to biased evaluation criteria and retribution systems, work-life imbalance, constant competition, job insecurity, forced mobility and potential harassment. Let's break this cycle and create a healthier environment for all. Stay with us as we share tools to help you challenge the status quo and foster inclusivity this week! 🌍🧠 #DiversityMatters #MentalHealthMatters #InclusiveScience #ALBAWeek2024
