In this mesmerizing video by Forrest Collman from our #ElectronMicroscopy team, a layer 5 thin tufted neuron is revealed with blue dendrites and purple axon. As it progresses, we zoom into where the neuron connects to a pyramidal cell. 🔗 microns-explorer.org

Last year, my group Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and the da Costa group Allen Institute (JoAnn Buchanan) published evidence that Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) engulf synapses in the brain (links below). We wrote a review to place our findings within a broader context: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…




We posted our pre-print today describing how the Connectome Annotation Versioning Engine (CCAVE) supports analyzing and editing the worlds largest connectomics datasets biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…! Sven Dorkenwald @csdashm Allen Institute Sebastian Seung!

In this mesmerizing video by Forrest Collman from our #ElectronMicroscopy team, get up close to the synapses between two layer 2/3 pyramidal cells (in green and purple). 🔗 Access MICrONS, our #openscience observatory of the mouse visual cortex: microns-explorer.org
