Denk and Seung labs publish more retinal connectomics work, paying attention to the need to go from purely morphological reconstructions to functional identification. Note this from the abstract: "We characterize a new type of retinal bipolar interneuron and show that we can subdivide a known type based on connectivity. Circuit motifs that emerge from our data indicate a functional mechanism for a known cellular response in a ganglion cell that detects localized motion, and predict that another ganglion cell is motion sensitive." -- From: Helmstaedter, M., et al. (2013). Connectomic reconstruction of the inner plexiform layer in the mouse retina, Nature, Vol. 500 (7461), pp. 168-174: nature/nature/journal/v500/n7461/full/nature12346.html (For more, join the "carboncopies" Facebook group!)
