Automated criteria-based selection and analysis of fluorescent synaptic puncta.
The use of fluorescent probes such as FM 1-43 or synapto-pHluorin to study the dynamic aspects of synaptic function has dramatically increased in recent years. The analysis of such experiments is both labor intensive and subject to potentially significant experimenter bias. For our analysis of fluorescently labeled synapses in cultured hippocampal neurons, we have developed an automated approac...
متن کاملIntellicount: High-Throughput Quantification of Fluorescent Synaptic Protein Puncta by Machine Learning
Synapse formation analyses can be performed by imaging and quantifying fluorescent signals of synaptic markers. Traditionally, these analyses are done using simple or multiple thresholding and segmentation approaches or by labor-intensive manual analysis by a human observer. Here, we describe Intellicount, a high-throughput, fully-automated synapse quantification program which applies a novel m...
متن کاملComputer-assisted stereology and automated image analysis for quantification of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in colon cancer
BACKGROUND Precise prognostic and predictive variables allowing improved post-operative treatment stratification are missing in patients treated for stage II colon cancer (CC). Investigation of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) may be rewarding, but the lack of a standardized analytic technique is a major concern. Manual stereological counting is considered the gold standard, but digital pa...
متن کاملEfficient quantification of afferent cochlear ultrastructure using design-based stereology.
The afferent synapse between the auditory nerve fiber and the inner hair cell (IHC) represents a critical junction for hearing. Elucidation of the structure at this site will help establish the substrate for normal sound encoding as well as pathologic processes associated with hearing dysfunction. Previous applications of unbiased (design-based) stereological principles have expanded our knowle...
متن کاملExtraction of fluorescent cell puncta by adaptive fuzzy segmentation
MOTIVATION The discrimination and measurement of fluorescent-labeled vesicles using microscopic analysis of fixed cells presents a challenge for biologists interested in quantifying the abundance, size and distribution of such vesicles in normal and abnormal cellular situations. In the specific application reported here, we were interested in quantifying changes to the population of a major org...
