Andreas Schoofs and Anton Miroschnikow in Michael Pankratz' lab have done an astonishing amount of work manually mapping the peripheral nervous system of the larval #Drosophila, with #CATMAID, in the STEM volume we imaged and they named "Igor". Congrats on seeing this gargantuan project through!

The whole larval volume of "Igor", including all tissues, is available here, courtesy of the #OpenOrganelle project led by Aubrey Weigel @avweigel at #HHMIJanelia:
openorganelle.janelia.org/data

See it at 5x5x35 nm resolution in #neuroglancer: neuroglancer-demo.appspot.com/ (control-minus and control-plus to zoom; mouse click to pan, scroll wheel to browse in Z).

Will appear at the #VirtualFlyBrain website soon as well.

There are many more peripheral nervous system components mapped, yet to be published.

1 cubic millimetre of brain:
- over 50000 cells
- over 130 million synaptic connections
- 1.4 PB of data
- less than one millionth of a whole brain (!)

The 3D map covers a volume of about one cubic millimetre, one-millionth of a whole brain, and contains roughly 57,000 cells and 150 million synapses — the connections between neurons. It incorporates a colossal 1.4 petabytes of data. “It’s a little bit humbling”
