Brain Wiring at Molecular Scale and The Connectomics Revolution | Dr. Sven Truckenbrodt

·1 hr·5 clips
Connectomics is like the Human Genome Project—a leap into the unknown to solve biology's biggest mysteries.
Host Willen interviews Dr. Sven Togenpoot about connectomics and expansion microscopy, exploring how these tools map brain wiring at molecular scales. They discuss the challenges of studying synapses, the role of new technologies like barcoding, and the impact of focused research organizations in advancing neuroscience.

As heard by us

A careful look at brain wiring, with the method doing as much work as the idea.

This episode treats connectomics like a real frontier, not a buzzword. It moves from the Human Genome Project comparison into expansion microscopy, molecular barcodes, AAV delivery, and antibody based readout, which gives the piece both stakes and method.
