Progress in electron microscopy-based high-resolution connectomics is limited by data analysis throughput. Here, we present SegEM, a toolset for efficient semi-automated analysis of large-scale fully stained 3D-EM datasets for the reconstruction of neuronal circuits. By combining skeleton reconstructions of neurons with automated volume segmentations, SegEM allows the reconstruction of neuronal circuits...
The concept of a readily releasable pool (RRP) of synaptic vesicles has been used extensively for the analysis of neurotransmitter release. Traditionally the properties of vesicles in such a pool have been assumed to be homogeneous, and techniques have been developed to determine pool parameters, such as the size of the pool and the probability with which a vesicle is released during an action potential...
Random is not a word often used in describing nervous system organization and its development. Yet, in this issue of Neuron, Owens et al. (2015) identify stochastic interactions of molecular and activity-dependent forces that can produce heterogeneous retinocollicular maps.
