Template-Based Automatic Segmentation of /Drosophila/ Mushroom Bodies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The segmentation of Drosophila mushroom bodies is highly demanded in the Drosophila brain research. In this work, we developed a template-based segmentation system with integration of the 3D average brain model. 3D registration and warping are performed to obtain the initial contours of the snake algorithm for the segmentation procedure. 3D models can be reconstructed from the segmentation results to update the average brain model. The proposed segmentation system is fast and automatic to construct a more precise standard 3D Drosophila brain model.

Dopamine-mushroom body circuit regulates saliency-based decision-making in Drosophila.
Drosophila melanogaster can make appropriate choices among alternative flight options on the basis of the relative salience of competing visual cues. We show that this choice behavior consists of early and late phases; the former requires activation of the dopaminergic system and mushroom bodies, whereas the latter is independent of these activities. Immunohistological analysis showed that mush...
متن کاملSubdivision of the drosophila mushroom bodies by enhancer-trap expression patterns
Phylogenetically conserved brain centers known as mushroom bodies are implicated in insect associative learning and in several other aspects of insect behavior. Kenyon cells, the intrinsic neurons of mushroom bodies, have been generally considered to be disposed as homogenous arrays. Such a simple picture imposes constraints on interpreting the diverse behavioral and computational properties th...
متن کاملFunctional feedback from mushroom bodies to antennal lobes in the Drosophila olfactory pathway.
Feedback plays important roles in sensory processing. Mushroom bodies are believed to be involved in olfactory learning/memory and multisensory integration in insects. Previous cobalt-labeling studies have suggested the existence of feedback from the mushroom bodies to the antennal lobes in the honey bee. In this study, the existence of functional feedback from Drosophila mushroom bodies to the...
متن کاملContext and occasion setting in Drosophila visual learning.
In a permanently changing environment, it is by no means an easy task to distinguish potentially important events from negligible ones. Yet, to survive, every animal has to continuously face that challenge. How does the brain accomplish this feat? Building on previous work in Drosophila melanogaster visual learning, we have developed an experimental methodology in which combinations of visual s...
متن کاملGustatory learning and processing in the Drosophila mushroom bodies.
The Drosophila mushroom bodies are critical association areas whose role in olfactory associative learning has been well characterized. Recent behavioral studies using a taste association paradigm revealed that gustatory conditioning also requires the mushroom bodies (Masek and Scott, 2010; Keene and Masek, 2012). Here, we examine the representations of tastes and the neural sites for taste ass...
