Study: Null models critically impact evolutionary connectome comparisons

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have investigated how different null models affect evolutionary comparisons of neural wiring. Their study used embodied foraging agents with a compressed Drosophila connectome, comparing them against agents with randomized wiring. The findings indicate that the choice of randomization method significantly impacts the interpretation of results, particularly concerning the sensory-motor boundary. AI

    Null-model treatment of the sensory-motor boundary changes an evolutionary connectome comparison

    Randomised copies of a connectome are the usual baseline for asking whether measured wiring matters, and the answer depends on what the randomisation preserves. We evolved embodied foraging agents whose brains are a compressed adult Drosophila connectome (FlyWire v783; 512 cell-t…
