Quantitative neuroanatomy for connectomics in Drosophila

Neuronal circuit mapping using electron microscopy demands laborious proofreading or reconciliation of multiple independent reconstructions. Here, we describe new methods to apply quantitative arbor and network context to iteratively proofread and reconstruct circuits and create anatomically enriched wiring diagrams. We measured the morphological underpinnings of connectivity in new and existin...

Diffusion MRI: From Quantitative Measurement to In vivo Neuroanatomy

Developments in the last century have led to a better understanding of diffusion, the perpetual mixing of molecules caused by thermal motion. In this chapter, the basic principles governing the diffusion phenomenon and its measurement using magnetic resonance (MR) are reviewed. The concepts of the apparent diffusion coefficient and of the diffusion propagator as well as their MR measurements ar...

Towards a quantitative, probabilistic neuroanatomy of cerebral cortex.

century in understanding the functional organization of primate cerebral cortex, thanks in considerable measure to several essential types of information provided by neuroanatomy. More specifically, neuroanatomy reveals cortical morphology and how cortical convolutions vary across individuals and species; it provides the basis for subdividing the cortical sheet into distinct architectonic areas...
