An All-In-One Solution

Usiigaci, a software developed by the Micro/Bio/Nanofluidics Unit, allows users to easily segment, track and analyze the migration of label-free cells. The tool can be used as an all-in-one solution to quantify cell migration, or can be employed as three separate applications (ie for segmentation, tracking, and data analysis, respectively). Using the machine learning infrastructure known as a “neural network,” the system allows users to train it on different data sets and analyzes images as a simplified human brain would.

Correlation between connectivity and distance of neurons in the human cortex

This diagram shows correlation between connectivity and distance of neurons in the human cortex. There are approximately 100,000 neurons in a square millimeter of cortex, as illustrated in the center box. The red gradation shows neuronal connectivity, with dark red indicating denser connectivity through synapses. While half of the synapses connect to neurons close to them, the other half connect with distant neurons, as so illustrated in the boxed area on the far left of this diagram. The differences in connectivity and distance between neurons require whole brain simulation in order to understand brain function.
