Emerging Connectomics of Thalamus and Striatum Workshop
Join us for a hands-on opportunity to learn how to use volumetric electron microscopy (EM) data and address biological questions central to the thalamus and striatum at the Emerging Connectomics of the Thalamus and Striatum Workshop, hosted at by the Allen Institute.
Workshop Topics
– Exploring the MD Thalamus and Striatum 3D EM volumes in Neuroglancer
– Learning to use annotation tools in Neuroglancer
– Developing biological questions involving the thalamus and basal ganglia loop
– Developing tools to address these questions computationally
Workshop Goals
– Attendees will develop an understanding of the HIVE Thalamus and Striatum datasets, how to interpret EM ultrastructure, and how to interpret APEX labels in the thalamic datasets to link to long-range inputs and outputs.
– Attendees will learn how to explore the electron microscopy imagery, neuronal segmentations, and synaptic connectivity in the HIVE Thalamus and Striatum datasets.
– Attendees will develop potential research questions and collaborations that will allow them to utilize these data in their ongoing research programs.
– Workshop will foster a community to develop the datasets into publications through data curation and analysis.
This workshop is geared towards both participants with an interest in learning how to use EM data to address biological questions, and participants interested in using and developing computational methods for data discovery. Ideally the workshop will be a blend of participants with different levels of biological and computational expertise. No coding experience required to apply.
