Vision provides animals with detailed information about their surroundings, conveying diverse features such as color, form, and movement across the visual scene. Computing these parallel spatial requires a large network of neurons, that in distant flies humans, regions comprise half brain's volume. These brain often reveal remarkable structure-function relationships, neurons organized along maps shapes directly relate to roles processing. To unravel stunning diversity complex system, careful...
Abstract Vision provides animals with detailed information about their surroundings and conveys diverse features such as colour, form movement across the visual scene. Computing these parallel spatial requires a large network of neurons. Consequently, from flies to humans, regions in brain constitute half its volume. These often have marked structure–function relationships, neurons organized along maps shapes that directly relate roles processing. More than century anatomical studies...
Abstract Mitochondria are an integral part of the metabolism a neuron. EM images fly brain volumes, taken for connectomics, contain mitochondria as well cells and synapses that have already been reported. Here, from Drosophila hemibrain dataset, we extract, classify, measure approximately 6 million among roughly 21 thousand neurons more than 5500 cell types. Each mitochondrion is classified by its appearance - dark dense, light sparse, or intermediate location, orientation, size (in voxels)...
