This paper introduces a method using synchrotron-source micro-x-ray computed tomography combined with machine learning to rapidly image and analyze butterfly eye structures, revealing morphological variation and supporting evolutionary insights.

The paper develops a pipeline to map every myelinated axon in non-human primate brains, enabling comprehensive analysis of long-distance neuronal connections.

This paper introduces photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) as a new method for connectomics, offering synaptic resolution and faster imaging compared to traditional TEM and SEM.

The paper analyzes synapse development in mouse and macaque primary sensory cortices, finding that synapse formation rates are not correlated with lifespan and that inhibitory synapse development differs between species.

This study uses electron microscopy to analyze dopaminergic axon connections in the Nucleus Accumbens before and after cocaine exposure, revealing non-synaptic communication and axonal remodeling.

The paper compares synaptic connectivity in primate and mouse visual cortices, finding primate connections are sparser, and shows that synaptic maintenance costs may explain this difference in artificial neural networks.

The paper develops a large-scale segmentation pipeline using supercomputing to analyze dendritic spines in connectomics datasets, improving efficiency and accuracy for synapse morphology studies.
