Automatic detection of synaptic partners in a whole-brain Drosophila electron microscopy data set

Nat Methods. 2021 Jul;18(7):771-774. doi: 10.1038/s41592-021-01183-7. Epub 2021 Jun 24.

Abstract

We develop an automatic method for synaptic partner identification in insect brains and use it to predict synaptic partners in a whole-brain electron microscopy dataset of the fruit fly. The predictions can be used to infer a connectivity graph with high accuracy, thus allowing fast identification of neural pathways. To facilitate circuit reconstruction using our results, we develop CIRCUITMAP, a user interface add-on for the circuit annotation tool CATMAID.
