New software designed for rapid, automated identification of dendritic spines

102

Researchers have released open source software, connecting and building the neuroscience coding community. The software has the potential to dramatically increase experiment workflow, shaving off hours of imaging time. Weaving in an element of machine learning, the algorithm can be taught how to differentiate between dendrite backbone and dendritic spines after being fed a training data set of previously identified spines.
