Projectome: Set up and testing of a High Performance Computational Infrastructure for processing and visualizing neuro-anatomical information obtained using confocal ultra-microscopy techniques

Submitted by admin on Thu, 02/27/2014 - 23:06
In Projectome we set up an IT infrastructure to share both neuroscience data as well as high performance computational applications. Data handled in Projectome are mouse brain images obtained using conf-u [1], a confocal ultra-microscopy technique in which selectively labeled neurons are imaged by light-sheet based microscopy [2][3] with micron-scale resolution. Data obtained from an experiment conducted on a mouse brain (1 cubic cm) might be of a range of 1 Terabyte, or more. Specific processes have been implemented in a Projectome Tooolkit in order to allow: 1) fully automated 3D Stitching capability starting from acquired raw data and 2) semi-automatic extraction of some morphological characteristics (eg. neurons localization) [1][4].
