Quantifying axonal features of human superficial white matter from three-dimensional multibeam serial electron microscopy data assisted by deep learning.

NeuroImage
Short-range association fibers located in the superficial white matter play an important role in mediating higher-order cognitive function in humans. Detailed morphological characterization of short-range association fibers at the microscopic level p...

Artificial Axon with Dendritic-like Plasticity by Biomimetic Interface Engineering of Anisotropic Two-Dimensional Tellurium.

Nano letters
Spiking neural network (SNN) hardware relies on implicit assumptions that prioritize dendritic/synaptic learning above axon/synaptic concerns, compromising performances in signal capacity, accuracy, and compactness of SNN systems. Herein, we develop ...

AxoNet 2.0: A Deep Learning-Based Tool for Morphometric Analysis of Retinal Ganglion Cell Axons.

Translational vision science & technology
PURPOSE: Assessment of glaucomatous damage in animal models is facilitated by rapid and accurate quantification of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axonal loss and morphologic change. However, manual assessment is extremely time- and labor-intensive. Here...

AxonDeep: Automated Optic Nerve Axon Segmentation in Mice With Deep Learning.

Translational vision science & technology
PURPOSE: Optic nerve damage is the principal feature of glaucoma and contributes to vision loss in many diseases. In animal models, nerve health has traditionally been assessed by human experts that grade damage qualitatively or manually quantify axo...

Propagation delays determine neuronal activity and synaptic connectivity patterns emerging in plastic neuronal networks.

Chaos (Woodbury, N.Y.)
In plastic neuronal networks, the synaptic strengths are adapted to the neuronal activity. Specifically, spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) is a fundamental mechanism that modifies the synaptic strengths based on the relative timing of pre- and...

Schwann Cell and Axon: An Interlaced Unit-From Action Potential to Phenotype Expression.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
Here we propose a model of a peripheral axon with a great deal of autonomy from its cell body-the autonomous axon-but with a substantial dependence on its ensheathing Schwann cell (SC), the axon-SC unit. We review evidence in several fields and show ...
