Fully-Automatic Synapse Prediction and Validation on a Large Data Set

no code implementations11 Apr 2016 Gary B. Huang, Louis K. Scheffer, Stephen M. Plaza

This discrepancy can, in part, be attributed to several factors: obtaining neuronal shapes is a prerequisite first step in extracting a connectome, manual tracing is much more time-consuming than annotating synapses, and neuronal contact area can be used as a proxy for synapses in determining connections.

Large-Scale Electron Microscopy Image Segmentation in Spark

1 code implementation1 Apr 2016 Stephen M. Plaza, Stuart E. Berg

In this paper, we propose a novel strategy to apply such segmentation on very large datasets that exceed the capacity of a single machine.

Automatic Neuron Type Identification by Neurite Localization in the Drosophila Medulla

1 code implementation5 Sep 2014 Ting Zhao, Stephen M. Plaza

Mapping the connectivity of neurons in the brain (i. e., connectomics) is a challenging problem due to both the number of connections in even the smallest organisms and the nanometer resolution required to resolve them.

Annotating Synapses in Large EM Datasets

no code implementations5 Sep 2014 Stephen M. Plaza, Toufiq Parag, Gary B. Huang, Donald J. Olbris, Mathew A. Saunders, Patricia K. Rivlin

Reconstructing neuronal circuits at the level of synapses is a central problem in neuroscience and becoming a focus of the emerging field of connectomics.

Focused Proofreading: Efficiently Extracting Connectomes from Segmented EM Images

1 code implementation3 Sep 2014 Stephen M. Plaza

In this paper, we propose a new strategy, focused proofreading, that works with automatic segmentation and aims to limit proofreading to the regions of a dataset that are most impactful to the resulting circuit.
