    • Crowdsourcing the creation of image segmentation algorithms for connectomics 

      Arganda-Carreras, Ignacio; Turaga, Srinivas C.; Berger, Daniel R.; Cireşan, Dan; Giusti, Alessandro; Gambardella, Luca M.; Schmidhuber, Jürgen; Laptev, Dmitry; Dwivedi, Sarvesh; Buhmann, Joachim M.; Liu, Ting; Seyedhosseini, Mojtaba; Tasdizen, Tolga; Kamentsky, Lee; Burget, Radim; Uher, Vaclav; Tan, Xiao; Sun, Changming; Pham, Tuan D.; Bas, Erhan; Uzunbas, Mustafa G.; Cardona, Albert; Schindelin, Johannes; Seung, H. Sebastian (Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)
      To stimulate progress in automating the reconstruction of neural circuits, we organized the first international challenge on 2D segmentation of electron microscopic (EM) images of the brain. Participants submitted boundary ...

    • Imaging ATUM ultrathin section libraries with WaferMapper: a multi-scale approach to EM reconstruction of neural circuits 

      Hayworth, Kenneth J.; Morgan, Josh L.; Schalek, Richard; Berger, Daniel R.; Hildebrand, David G. C.; Lichtman, Jeff W. (Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)
      The automated tape-collecting ultramicrotome (ATUM) makes it possible to collect large numbers of ultrathin sections quickly—the equivalent of a petabyte of high resolution images each day. However, even high throughput ...

    • Ultrastructural insights into mammalian cutaneous mechanoreceptors 

      Zhang, Qiyu (2021-05-07)
      Cutaneous mechanoreceptors are a morphologically and functionally diverse class of primary sensory neurons in mammals that transduce mechanical stimuli acting on the skin into electrical impulses. These neurons reside in ...

    • Wiring and connectivity enabling CO2 sensitization in the Aedes aegypti mosquito 

      Bao, Karen Jialu (2024-03-12)
      The mosquito Aedes aegypti’s human host-seeking behavior depends upon the integration of multiple sensory cues. One of these cues, carbon dioxide (CO2), primes and activates host-seeking behavior, but the neuronal circuits ...
