Thanks Amy another cool resource to learn more about he Brain in general.
Spotted this one today, more information about Mouse Brains…

Was this one of Harold’s relatives? (the mouse we got out data-set from)

Interesting article on links between spatial navigation and communication, both important aspects for tracing the brain in EW.

As I am back on Eyewire again after a break away, picking up this thread again.
https://neurosciencenews.com/ is a great resource to find interesting articles around other endeavors for science.
My favorite one today is https://neurosciencenews.com/red-imaging-brain-10180/ as its all about news ways to image the brain.
Please post your highlights, any thoughts it prompts or any other interesting Neuro Science News.

I don’t have anything from that website, but I have websites to look up neuroscience news, like:
https://www.braininitiative.nih.gov/News-Events/News has good stuff. I like their visual layout here: http://www.braininitiative.org/news/

Cool! I tried looking for any examples of the structures of the cells in the paper (grid, place, border and head-direction), but I couldn’t find any. I wonder what they look like?
The best I could find was this image of speed cells (also in the medial entorhinal cortex): https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/115/7/E1627/F5.large.jpg
The paper that had that image is here: https://www.pnas.org/content/115/7/E1627
Seems that they are still trying to figure out the connectivity between the neurons in the medial entorhinal cortex and hippocampus.
