Neuron image analysis

SynActJ (Synaptic Activity in ImageJ) is an easy-to-use fully open-source workflow that enables automated image and data analysis of synaptic activity. The workflow consists of a Fiji plugin performing the automated image analysis of active synapses in time-lapse movies via an interactive seeded watershed segmentation that can be easily adjusted and applied to a dataset in batch mode. The extracted intensity traces of each synaptic bouton are automatically processed, analyzed, and plotted using an R Shiny workflow. 

ClearMap is a toolbox for the analysis and registration of volumetric data from cleared tissues.

It was initially developed to map brain activity at cellular resolution in whole mouse brains using immediate early gene expression. It has since then been extended as a tool for the qunatification of whole mouse brain vascualtur networks at capilary resolution.

It is composed of sevral specialized modules or scripts: tubemap, cellmap, WobblyStitcher.

ClearMap has been designed to analyze O(TB) 3d datasets obtained via light sheet microscopy from iDISCO+ cleared tissue samples immunolabeled for proteins. The ClearMap tools may also be useful for data obtained with other types of microscopes, types of markers, clearing techniques, as well as other species, organs, or samples.

Phindr3D is a comprehensive shallow-learning framework for automated quantitative phenotyping of three-dimensional (3D) high content screening image data using unsupervised data-driven voxel-based feature learning, which enables computationally facile classification, clustering and data visualization.

webKnossos is an open-source data sharing and annotation platform for tera-scale 2D and 3D image datasets.

The core features of webKnossos are:

• fast 3D data streaming
• share links to specific locations in the data
• uniquely fast skeleton annotation (flight mode) and
• efficient volume annotation
• mesh rendering
• collaboration and sharing tools

webKnossos facilitates image analysis workflows on multi-terabyte datasets, including visualization of raw and multi-modal microscopy data, distributed training data generation and proof-reading of automatic segmentation.

As a scientific resource, webknossos.org serves as a database for published image datasets including their annotations.
