RESPAN: an accurate, unbiased and automated pipeline for analysis of dendritic morphology and dendritic spine mapping

Kavli Affiliate: Franck Polleux; | Authors: Sergio B. Garcia, Alexa P. Schlotter, Daniela Pereira, Franck Polleux and Luke Hammond | Summary: Accurate and unbiased reconstructions of neuronal morphology, including quantification of dendritic spine morphology and distribution, are widely used in neuroscience but remain a major roadblock for large-scale analysis. Traditionally, spine analysis has required labor-intensive […]
