| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Brain is composed of a huge number of neurons, which constitute neuronal circuits. The first step to analyzing such brain circuits is to trace neuronal networks to build three-dimensional models of their complicated structures. In this study, we have developed methods for building three-dimensional wire models by tracing neuronal networks. We evaluated a number of algorithms reported for tracing wire-form structures in two-dimensional images. Some of those methods were proven to be effective in the computerized building of neuronal network model. A part of this study has been published as a feature article of the September 2015 issue of Microscopy Today, the official publication of the Microscopy Society of America.
