Breaking @IARPAnews MICrONS news.
We've completed stitching & aligning >100,000,000 pictures of the brain into a massive 2.3 petabyte, 3D dataset, & handed it off to @Princeton for fine-alignment & segmentation. This project is giving us a new window into how the brain is wired.

What is the relationship between the spikes of diverse GABAergic interneurons and behavior? We recorded FS, SOM and VIP neurons across cortical layers in the barrel cortex of mice performing a behavioral task and revealed principles underlying their activity during behavior. https://twitter.com/biorxiv_neursci/status/1097915691972395008
