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…

Update: Challenge 1 has been completed! Amazing effort by our pioneer group of Pyr citizen scientists! Check out the leaderboard below: About Challenge 1: Pyr is finally here! Dive into the hippocampus, a region of brain important for learning and memory. We begin our quest with Challenge 1: The 400, a set of presynaptic axons…

Here is a collection of cell classes found in the CA3 region of mouse hippocampus. To request early dataset access, email support@eyewire.org.  CA3 is a part of the hippocampal formation, a cluster of brain regions involved in learning and memory. It acts in many ways. One is as a pattern-recognition hub, using connections among cells to…

Spelunker is the latest Neuroglancer version for proofreading and annotating large electron microscopy datasets using CAVE. Whether you’re brand new to proofreading or or need some guidance while getting acquainted with the updated platform, this tutorial will help get going. Interface overview Let’s begin by taking a look at the spelunker interface. Here we’ve highlighted…
