Abstract The neural circuits responsible for behavior remain largely unknown. Previous efforts have reconstructed the complete of small animals, with hundreds neurons, and selected larger animals. Here we (the FlyEM project at Janelia collaborators Google) summarize new methods present circuitry a large fraction brain much more complex animal, fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster . Improved include procedures to prepare, image, align, segment, find synapses, proofread such data sets; that...
Abstract Animal behavior is principally expressed through neural control of muscles. Therefore understanding how the brain controls requires mapping neuronal circuits all way to motor neurons. We have previously established technology collect large-volume electron microscopy data sets tissue and fully reconstruct morphology neurons their chemical synaptic connections throughout volume. Using these tools we generated a dense wiring diagram, or connectome, for large portion Drosophila central...

Vision provides animals with detailed information about their surroundings, conveying diverse features such as color, form, and movement across the visual scene. Computing these parallel spatial requires a large network of neurons, that in distant flies humans, regions comprise half brain's volume. These brain often reveal remarkable structure-function relationships, neurons organized along maps shapes directly relate to roles processing. To unravel stunning diversity complex system, careful...

Computing these parallel spatial requires a large network of neurons. Consequently, from flies to humans, regions in brain constitute half its volume. These often have marked structure–function relationships, neurons organized along maps shapes that directly relate roles processing. More than century anatomical studies...

Purpose The aim of the study was to examine how ultrasound visual feedback (UVF) treatment impacts speech sound learning in children with residual errors affecting /ɹ/. Method Twelve children, ages 9-14 years, received for vocalic /ɹ/ a multiple-baseline across-subjects design comparing 8 sessions UVF and traditional (no-biofeedback) treatment. All participants were exposed both conditions, order counterbalanced across participants. To monitor progress, naïve listeners rated accuracy...
Purpose The aim of this study was to explore how the frequency with which ultrasound visual feedback (UVF) is provided during speech therapy affects sound learning. Method Twelve children residual errors affecting /ɹ/ participated in a multiple-baseline across-subjects design 2 treatment conditions. One condition featured 8 hr high-frequency UVF (HF; on 89% trials), whereas other included lower-frequency (LF; 44% trials). order conditions counterbalanced across participants. All participants...

Abstract Baited static gear fisheries targeting benthic invertebrates have expanded at a global scale. While improvements been made in the monitoring and management of these fisheries, reliable survey methods for stock assessments many key species are lacking. In this study we examine viability baited remote underwater video (BRUV) system obtaining abundance indices data-limited (common whelk, Buccinum undatum), compare method to catch per unit effort (CPUE) from commercial fishing. BRUVs...
Abstract American barn owls ( Tyto furcata ) often rely on nest box networks for breeding, especially within agricultural landscapes. Nest boxes are commonly installed pest management purposes and require regular maintenance, such as removal of pellet debris repairs, to remain functional safe breeding owls. Ideally, maintenance should be conducted before the season begins minimize disturbance. The timing owl is important understand in California, USA, which has a high diversity ecoregions...
Abstract Background Accurate nestling age is valuable for studies on nesting strategies, productivity, and impacts reproductive success. Most aging guides consist of descriptions photographs that are time consuming to read subjective interpret. The Western Bluebird ( Sialia mexicana ) a secondary cavity-nesting passerine nests in coniferous open deciduous forests. Nest box programs species have provided suitable locations opportunities data collection growth development. Methods We developed...
