Virtual microscopy of brain tissue is demonstrated in a prototype automated system for the parallel tracing of neurons and their connections. The software system (1) incorporates heuristics for tissue feature extraction, (2) demonstrates dendritic arbor and fiber pathway reconstruction, and (3) frames a finite element model of the environment in which these neurons grow and interconnect. The technology will enable the collection of an extensive database of measured neurons, leading to an enlarged knowledge base of neuron morphological models. While our work is directed to neuron and fiber tracing in brain tissue, it is applicable to other similar tissues, for instance, the reconstruction of blood vessels or bronchioles (Barillot et al., Comput. Graphics Appl. 5 (1985) 13-19). (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. |
