RESPAN: A Deep Learning Pipeline for Accurate and Automated Restoration, Segmentation, and Quantification of Dendritic Spines

Posted by dbos Columbia, This Week: Neuroscience

Kavli Affiliate: Franck Polleux | Authors: Sergio B. Garcia, Alexa P. Schlotter, Daniela Pereira, Aleksandra J Recupero, Franck Polleux and Luke A Hammond | Summary: Quantification of dendritic spines is essential for studying synaptic connectivity, yet most current approaches require manual adjustments or the combination of multiple software tools for optimal results. Here, we present […]

FEASTS Combined with Interferometry. III. The Low-column-density HI Around M51 and Possibility of Turbulent-mixing Gas Accretion

Posted by dbos Peking, This Week: Astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Xuchen Lin, Jing Wang, Lister Staveley-Smith, Suoqing Ji, Dong Yang | Summary: With a new joint-deconvolution pipeline, we combine the single-dish and interferometric atomic hydrogen (HI) data of M51 observed by the FAST (FEASTS program) and VLA (THINGS). The product data cube has a typical line […]
