Abstract Segmentation helps interpret imaging data in a biological context. With the development of powerful tools for automated segmentation, public repositories have added support sharing and visualizing segmentations, creating need interactive web-based visualization 3D volume segmentations. To address ongoing challenge integrating multimodal data, we developed Mol* Volumes Segmentations (Mol*VS), which enables interactive, cellular supported by macromolecular annotations. Mol*VS is fully integrated into Viewer, already used several repositories. All EMDB EMPIAR entries with segmentation datasets are accessible via Mol*VS, supports from wide range electron light microscopy experiments. Additionally, users can run local instance to visualize share custom generic or application-specific formats including volumes .ccp4, .mrc, .map, segmentations EMDB-SFF .hff, Amira .am, iMod .mod, Segger .seg. open source freely available at https://molstarvolseg.ncbr.muni.cz/.

Recent advances in human stem cell-derived brain organoids promise to replicate critical molecular and cellular aspects of learning memory possibly cognition vitro . Coining the term “organoid intelligence” (OI) encompass these developments, we present a collaborative program implement vision multidisciplinary field OI. This aims establish OI as form genuine biological computing that harnesses using scientific bioengineering an ethically responsible manner. Standardized, 3D, myelinated can now be produced with high cell density enriched levels glial cells gene expression for learning. Integrated microfluidic perfusion systems support scalable durable culturing, spatiotemporal chemical signaling. Novel 3D microelectrode arrays permit high-resolution electrophysiological signaling recording explore capacity recapitulate mechanisms formation and, ultimately, their computational potential. Technologies could enable novel biocomputing models via stimulus-response training organoid-computer interfaces are development. We envisage complex, networked whereby connected real-world sensors output devices, ultimately each other sensory organ (e.g. retinal organoids), trained biofeedback, big-data warehousing, machine methods. In parallel, emphasize embedded ethics approach analyze ethical raised by research iterative, manner involving all relevant stakeholders. The many possible applications this urge strategic development discipline. anticipate OI-based allow faster decision-making, continuous during tasks, greater energy data efficiency. Furthermore, “intelligence-in-a-dish” help elucidate pathophysiology devastating developmental degenerative diseases (such dementia), potentially aiding identification therapeutic approaches address major global unmet needs.

Abstract The reconstruction of neural circuits from serial section electron microscopy (ssEM) images is being accelerated by automatic image segmentation methods. Segmentation accuracy often limited the preceding step aligning 2D to create a 3D stack. Precise and robust alignment in presence artifacts challenging, especially as datasets are attaining petascale. We present computational pipeline for ssEM with several key elements. Self-supervised convolutional nets trained via metric learning encode align pairs, they used initialize iterative fine-tuning alignment. A procedure called vector voting increases robustness or missing data. For speedup series divided into blocks that distributed workers aligned each other composing transformations decay, which achieves global without resorting time-consuming optimization. apply our whole fly brain dataset, show improved relative prior state art. also demonstrate scales cubic millimeter mouse visual cortex.

Detailed knowledge of biological structure has been key in understanding biology at several levels organisation, from organs to cells and proteins. Volume electron microscopy (volume EM) provides high resolution 3D structural information about tissues on the nanometre scale. However, throughput rate conventional microscopes limited volume size number samples that can be imaged. Recent improvements methodology are currently driving a revolution EM, making possible imaging whole small organisms. In turn, these recent developments image acquisition have created or stressed bottlenecks other parts pipeline, like sample preparation, analysis data management. While progress is stunning due advent automatic segmentation server-based annotation tools, challenges remain. Here we discuss trends emerging methods for increasing implications

Open-source software development has skyrocketed in part due to community tools like github.com, which allows publication of code as well the ability create branches and push accepted modifications back original repository. As number size EM-based datasets increases, connectomics faces similar issues when we publish snapshot data corresponding a publication. Ideally, there would be mechanism where remote collaborators could modify then flexibly reintegrate results via moderated acceptance changes. The DVID system provides web-based API first steps toward such distributed versioning approach datasets. Through its use central resource for Janelia's FlyEM team, have integrated concepts into reconstruction workflows, allowing support proofreader training segmentation experiments through branched, versioned data. also supports persistence variety storage systems from high-speed local SSDs cloud-based object stores, deployment on laptops large servers. tailoring backend each type leads efficient fast queries. is freely available open-source with an increasing supported options.

Abstract Scientific progress depends on reliable and reproducible results. Progress can also be accelerated when data are shared re-analyzed to address new questions. Current approaches storing analyzing neural typically involve bespoke formats software that make replication, as well the subsequent reuse of data, difficult if not impossible. To these challenges, we created Spyglass , an open-source framework enables analyses sharing both intermediate final results within across labs. uses Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) standard includes pipelines for several core in neuroscience, including spectral filtering, spike sorting, pose tracking, decoding. It easily extended apply existing newly developed datasets from multiple sources. We demonstrate features context a cross-laboratory replication by applying advanced state space decoding algorithms publicly available data.

Introduction The effectiveness of research and innovation often relies on the diversity or heterogeneity datasets that are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable Reusable (FAIR). However, global landscape brain data is yet to achieve desired levels can facilitate generalisable outputs. Brain from low-and middle-income countries Africa still missing in open science ecosystem. This mean decades may not be populations Africa. Methods combined experiential learning with a survey questionnaire. involved deriving insights direct, hands-on experiences collecting African view making it FAIR. was critical process action, reflection, doing collection. A questionnaire then used validate findings provide wider contexts for these findings. Results revealed major challenges FAIR categorised as socio-cultural, economic, technical, ethical legal challenges. It also highlighted opportunities growth include capacity development, development technical infrastructure, funding well policy regulatory changes. showed neuroscience community believes ranked order priority follows: Technical, socio-cultural Conclusion We conclude researchers need work together address way maximise efforts build thriving ecosystem socially acceptable, ethically responsible, technically robust legally compliant.
