3D neural circuit visualization by neural tracing and tissue clearing for dementia study

Neural networks in 3D medical scan visualization

For medical volume visualization, one of the most important tasks is to reveal clinically relevant details from the 3D scan (CT, MRI ...), e.g. the coronary arteries, without obscuring them with less significant parts. These volume datasets contain different materials which are difficult to extract and visualize with 1D transfer functions based solely on the attenuation coefficient. Multi-dimen...

'SNN3DViewer' - 3D Visualization Tool for Spiking Neural Network Analysis

We present a specialized visualization system dedicated to support analysis of dynamical processes in large spiking neural networks. The key features of the considered system are: clarity of visual representation, easy accessibility of multiple views and parameters related to the network analysis, advanced and flexible GUI and the system interoperability. In this paper we focus specifically on ...

neuroMAP - Interactive graph-visualization of the fruit fly's neural circuit

Neuroscientists study the function of neural circuits in the brain of the common fruit fly Drosophila Melanogaster to discover how complex behavior is generated. Through a combination of molecular-genetic techniques and confocal microscopy the scientists are able to highlight single neurons and produce three-dimensional images of the fly’s brain. Neurons are segmented, annotated, and compiled i...

Electroconductive Neural Interfaces for Neural Tissue Applications

Neural circuit reconfiguration by social status.

The social rank of an animal is distinguished by its behavior relative to others in its community. Although social-status-dependent differences in behavior must arise because of differences in neural function, status-dependent differences in the underlying neural circuitry have only begun to be described. We report that dominant and subordinate crayfish differ in their behavioral orienting resp...
