CAVE enables reproducible connectome analysis in large-scale datasets during ongoing annotation and proofreading.

NEURD automates proofreading and feature extraction from connectomics data to improve accuracy and accessibility of neural morphology analyses.

The paper presents a functional connectomics dataset of mouse visual cortex, combining calcium imaging with EM reconstruction to study neural circuits and their connectivity.

Functionally similar neurons in mouse visual cortex connect preferentially across layers and areas, including feedback, and feature tuning, not receptive-field position, predicts synapses beyond axon-dendrite proximity.

The paper uses graph-based machine learning to analyze dendritic morphology of excitatory neurons in mouse visual cortex, finding a continuous morphological landscape rather than discrete types.

The paper introduces a pipeline for aligning serial section electron microscopy images, improving accuracy and scalability for large datasets.

The paper investigates the synaptic connectivity of thick tufted layer 5 pyramidal neurons in the mouse visual cortex, revealing their local inhibitory and long-range excitatory connections.

Electron microscopy of 1352 neurons in a mouse visual cortex column reveals widespread cell-type-specific inhibition, a basket-cell-targeting disinhibitory class, and interneuron motif groups sharing excitatory targets.

The paper uses electron microscopy data to classify cell types in the neocortex based on perisomatic features, showing that these features are sufficient for accurate classification even in large datasets.

Cloud-run convolutional nets aligned 19,939 serial EM sections of mouse visual cortex despite cracks and folds, segmented neurons and detected 523 million synapses; code and the reconstruction are public.
