CAREER: Modeling the Structure and Dynamics of Neuronal Circuits in the Drosophila larvae using Image Analytics
ABI Innovation: Modeling the Drosophila Brain with Single Neuron Resolution using Computer Vision Approaches
The objective of this project is to model the morphology of neurons, how they develop and form synapses in the Central Nervous System (CNS) using computer vision approaches.
By exploiting the morphological stereotypes and unparalleled single-cell resolution of Drosophila motor neurons, this project will yield the first motor neuron map in the Drosophila CNS, serving as a case study and a step towards modeling the entire brain.
