Computational analysis of non-invasive deep brain stimulation based on interfering electric fields.

Physics in medicine and biology
Neuromodulation modalities are used as effective treatments for some brain disorders. Non-invasive deep brain stimulation (NDBS) via temporally interfering electric fields has emerged recently as a non-invasive strategy for electrically stimulating d...

Measurement-oriented deep-learning workflow for improved segmentation of myelin and axons in high-resolution images of human cerebral white matter.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Standard segmentation of high-contrast electron micrographs (EM) identifies myelin accurately but does not translate easily into measurements of individual axons and their myelin, even in cross-sections of parallel fibers. We describe aut...

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....
