Deep learning for high-throughput quantification of oligodendrocyte ensheathment at single-cell resolution.

Communications biology
High-throughput quantification of oligodendrocyte myelination is a challenge that, if addressed, would facilitate the development of therapeutics to promote myelin protection and repair. Here, we established a high-throughput method to assess oligode...

Morphometric analysis of peripheral myelinated nerve fibers through deep learning.

Journal of the peripheral nervous system : JPNS
Irrespective of initial causes of neurological diseases, these disorders usually exhibit two key pathological changes-axonal loss or demyelination or a mixture of the two. Therefore, vigorous quantification of myelin and axons is essential in studyin...

Assessing functional connectivity across 3D tissue engineered axonal tracts using calcium fluorescence imaging.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Micro-tissue engineered neural networks (micro-TENNs) are anatomically-inspired constructs designed to structurally and functionally emulate white matter pathways in the brain. These 3D neural networks feature long axonal tracts spanning d...

AxonDeepSeg: automatic axon and myelin segmentation from microscopy data using convolutional neural networks.

Scientific reports
Segmentation of axon and myelin from microscopy images of the nervous system provides useful quantitative information about the tissue microstructure, such as axon density and myelin thickness. This could be used for instance to document cell morphom...

Automated quantification of three-dimensional organization of fiber-like structures in biological tissues.

Biomaterials
Fiber-like structures are prevalent in biological tissues, yet quantitative approaches to assess their three-dimensional (3D) organization are lacking. We develop 3D directional variance, as a quantitative biomarker of truly 3D fibrillar organization...

Automated tracing of myelinated axons and detection of the nodes of Ranvier in serial images of peripheral nerves.

Journal of microscopy
The development of realistic neuroanatomical models of peripheral nerves for simulation purposes requires the reconstruction of the morphology of the myelinated fibres in the nerve, including their nodes of Ranvier. Currently, this information has to...

Developmental time windows for axon growth influence neuronal network topology.

Biological cybernetics
Early brain connectivity development consists of multiple stages: birth of neurons, their migration and the subsequent growth of axons and dendrites. Each stage occurs within a certain period of time depending on types of neurons and cortical layers....

Classifying GABAergic interneurons with semi-supervised projected model-based clustering.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
OBJECTIVES: A recently introduced pragmatic scheme promises to be a useful catalog of interneuron names. We sought to automatically classify digitally reconstructed interneuronal morphologies according to this scheme. Simultaneously, we sought to dis...

A guide to CNN-based dense segmentation of neuronal EM images.

Microscopy (Oxford, England)
Large-scale reconstitution of neuronal circuits from volumetric electron microscopy images is a remarkable research goal in neuroanatomy. However, the large-scale reconstruction is a result of automatic segmentation using convolutional neural network...
