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...

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...

PSR-MAPMS: A new approach for the interpretable prediction of myelin autoantigenic peptides in multiple sclerosis using multi-source propensity scores.

Protein science : a publication of the Protein Society
Within the central nervous system, the myelin sheath is composed of elements known as myelin autoantigens that are mistakenly targeted by the immune system in multiple sclerosis (MS). This autoimmune attack leads to the destruction of myelin, resulti...

Cortical myelin mapping in antipsychotic medication-naïve, first-episode psychosis patients.

Neuropsychopharmacology : official publication of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology
While white matter myelin primarily functions to accelerate conduction velocity and has been extensively studied in schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (SSD), less is known about the role of gray matter myelin in SSD. Cortical myelination occurs mostly ...
