Story: 1. Neurons in the brain are very chatty: they fire action potentials, their basic unit of communication, even when there is nothing to communicate. For example in this video, in visual cortex recordings in complete darkness. Lots of chatting:

🖥️ A new version of #Cellpose – the popular tool developed by @computingnature & @marius10p that maps the boundaries of diverse cells in microscopy images – now works on less-than-perfect pictures that are noisy, blurry, or undersampled. 🔗janelia.org/news/newest-vers…

Read about our experience and that of others in building software for biology. #kilosort #suite2p #cellpose #facemap #rastermap
Six tips for going public with your lab’s software: nature.com/articles/d41586-0… 1) make time for maintenance 2) simplify installation 3) add a GUI or good CLI 4) good documentation 5) use github/git 6) automated testing Any other tips people have? #OpenScience #OpenSource

#Kilosort and #Suite2p applied to human loop organoids. Great new work from @Sergiu_P_Pasca and team.
Today we introduce human neural loop #assembloids created from 4 parts derived from stem cells to study the cortico-striato-midbrain-thalamo-cortical pathway and to model neurodevelopmental disease Work led by the remarkable Ji-Il Kim and Yuki Miura in the lab. Also in collaboration with the @marius10p lab at @HHMIJanelia Video shows a four-part neural assembloid displaying emergent synchronized activity after a couple of hundred days of integration

Now that I have some time, let me tell y’all about the DISRESPECT that Black In Neuro experienced by SfN staff last night 🤬 We did an #SfN24 “sponsored social” and I am livid with how we were treated. I don’t care what you say to me, but you will NOT disrespect my team.

biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Nice benchmark of single cell "foundation models" (scGPT, scFoundation) and GEARS (a GNN model) further hyped as "virtual cell models" against linear baselines on perturbation prediction. Long-story short: they can't beat the linear baselines. 1/
