Abstract Understanding the brain requires understanding neurons’ functional responses to circuit architecture shaping them. Here we introduce MICrONS connectomics dataset with dense calcium imaging of around 75,000 neurons in primary visual cortex (VISp) and higher areas (VISrl, VISal VISlm) an awake mouse that is viewing natural synthetic stimuli. These data are co-registered electron microscopy reconstruction containing more than 200,000 cells 0.5 billion synapses.

Mammalian cortex features a vast diversity of neuronal cell types, each with characteristic anatomical, molecular and functional properties1. Synaptic connectivity shapes how type participates in the cortical circuit, but mapping rules at resolution distinct types remains difficult.

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. Our publicly available through two open source Python packages.

Abstract To understand the brain we must relate neurons’ functional responses to circuit architecture that shapes them. Here, present a large connectomics dataset with dense calcium imaging of millimeter scale volume. We recorded activity from approximately 75,000 neurons in primary visual cortex (VISp) and three higher areas (VISrl, VISal VISlm) an awake mouse viewing natural movies synthetic stimuli. The data were co-registered volumetric electron microscopy (EM) reconstruction containing more than 200,000 cells 0.5 billion synapses. Subsequent proofreading subset this volume yielded reconstructions include complete dendritic trees as well local inter-areal axonal projections map up thousands cell-to-cell connections per neuron. release open-access resource scientific community including set tools facilitate retrieval downstream analysis.

Serial section transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has proven to be one of the leading methods for millimeter-scale 3D imaging brain tissues at nanoscale resolution. It is important further improve efficiency acquire larger and more volumes. We report here a threefold increase in speed TEM by using beam deflecting mechanism enable highly efficient acquisition multiple image tiles (nine) each motion mechanical stage. For areas, duty cycle doubles than 30%, yielding net average rate 0.3 gigapixels per second. If fully utilized, an array four deflection TEMs should capable dataset cubic millimeter scale five weeks.

Abstract Disruption of the vascular protective angiopoietin-Tie axis is common in cerebral malaria (CM) patients, with elevated angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and reduced angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) blood concentrations. The role pericytes CM pathogenesis remains unexplored, despite being a major source brain Ang-1 secretion evidence pericyte damage observed postmortem samples. Here we engineered 3D microfluidics-based microvessel model containing both human primary microvascular endothelial cells pericytes. This replicated vessel coverage ultrastructural interactions present microvasculature. When exposed to P. falciparum -iRBC egress products, microvessels presented decreased secretion, increased permeability, minor changes morphology. Notably, -mediated barrier disruption was partially reversed after pre-treatment recombinant Ang-1. Our approach suggests novel mechanistic highlights importance dysfunction caused by .
