Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, Heidelberg, Germany
Nat Neurosci 14:1081-8. 2011..Focused reannotation of difficult locations promises a rather steep increase of reliability as a function of the average skeleton redundancy and thus the nearly error-free analysis of large neuroanatomical datasets... - Structural neurobiology: missing link to a mechanistic understanding of neural computationWinfried Denk
Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, Heidelberg 69120, Germany
Nat Rev Neurosci 13:351-8. 2012..Given that the brain's algorithms are ultimately encoded by this network, knowing where all of these connections are should, at the very least, provide the data needed to distinguish between models of neural computation... - 3D structural imaging of the brain with photons and electronsMoritz Helmstaedter
Max Planck Institute for Medical Research, Department of Biomedical Optics, Heidelberg, Germany
Curr Opin Neurobiol 18:633-41. 2008..Both photon-based and electron-based imaging methods will ultimately need highly automated data analysis, because the manual tracing of most networks of interest would require hundreds to tens of thousands of years in human labor...
