Imaging methods used in modern neuroscience experiments are quickly producing large amounts of data capable of providing increasing amounts of knowledge about neuroanatomy and function. A great deal of information in these datasets is relatively unexplored and untapped. One of the bottlenecks in knowledge extraction is that often there is no feedback loop between the knowledge produced (e.g., graph, density estimate, or other statistic) and the earlier stages of the pipeline (e.g., acquisition). We thus advocate for the development of sample-to-knowledge discovery pipelines that one can use to optimize acquisition and processing steps with a particular end goal (i.e., piece of knowledge) in mind. We therefore propose that optimization takes place not just within each processing stage but also between adjacent (and non-adjacent) steps of the pipeline. Furthermore, we explore the existing categories of knowledge representation and models to motivate the types of experiments and analysis needed to achieve the ultimate goal. To illustrate this approach, we provide an experimental paradigm to answer questions about large-scale synaptic distributions through a multimodal approach combining X-ray microtomography and electron microscopy. |
