The paper develops human tri-lineage brain microtissues composed of neurons, astrocytes, and microglia, showing they recapitulate cell-cell interactions and pathological processes.

EM-Compressor uses Variational Autoencoders to compress EM images for connectomics, reducing data size to 1/128th while preserving features needed for segmentation.

This paper introduces a point affinity transformer framework for global neuron shape reasoning, improving segmentation error correction and neuron type classification in connectomics.
