Mossy Fiber Challenge: Mission Accomplished!
Our 2nd Challenge in Pyr was to proofread 6k putative mossy fibers: uniquely shaped long axons that carry information to the CA3 region. Thanks to our amazing Citizen Scientist proofreaders, this task has been accomplished in record time! Let’s give them a hand! Thanks for your amazing mossy fiber detective work! For science!

Pyr Challenge 2: Mossy Fibers!
For all those who have been enjoying proofreading in our CA3 dataset, we hope you’re up for our next challenge – proofreading mossy fibers! The CA3 is a region of the hippocampus — a seahorse-shaped structure in the brain important for retaining short-term memories. Mossy fibers are uniquely shaped long axons that originate from dentate…
