Volume electron microscopy. [PDF]
Life exists in three dimensions, but until the turn of the century most electron microscopy methods provided only 2D image data. Recently, electron microscopy techniques capable of delving deep into the structure of cells and tissues have emerged, collectively called volume electron microscopy (vEM).

SyConn2: dense synaptic connectivity inference for volume electron microscopy. [PDF]
AbstractThe ability to acquire ever larger datasets of brain tissue using volume electron microscopy leads to an increasing demand for the automated extraction of connectomic information. We introduce SyConn2, an open-source connectome analysis toolkit, which works with both on-site high-performance compute environments and rentable cloud computing ...

Cellular Hallmarks From Volume Electron Microscopy Reveal Developmental Progression of Plasmodium Ookinetes [PDF]
Unicellular organisms or cells of metazoans often change their morphology during development or life cycle progression to adapt to environmental changes. Malaria parasites undergo a striking range of morphological transformations as they navigate through

Volume electron microscopy reveals unique laminar synaptic characteristics in the human entorhinal cortex [PDF]
The entorhinal cortex (EC) plays a pivotal role in memory function and spatial navigation, connecting the hippocampus with the neocortex. The EC integrates a wide range of cortical and subcortical inputs, but its synaptic organization in the human brain ...
