Connectomic analysis of astrocyte-synapse interactions in the cerebral cortex

The paper analyzes astrocyte-synapse interactions in mouse somatosensory cortex using connectomic data, finding specific astrocytic coverage of certain synapse types and its potential role in synaptic stability.

Connectomic reconstruction of a cortical column

The paper reports the connectomic reconstruction of a cortical column in mouse barrel cortex using 3D electron microscopy and AI-based image processing, revealing structural and functional insights into neuronal circuits.

RoboEM: automated 3D flight tracing for synaptic-resolution connectomics

RoboEM automates 3D flight tracing for synaptic-resolution connectomics, reducing computational annotation costs for cortical connectomes by about 400-fold compared to manual error correction.

Dense connectomic reconstruction in layer 4 of the somatosensory cortex

The paper reports a dense connectomic reconstruction of mouse barrel cortex layer 4, revealing synaptic specificity and plasticity patterns in neuronal circuits.
