Simple neurite tracer: Open source software for reconstruction, visualization and analysis of neuronal processes

Abstract

Motivation: Advances in techniques to sparsely label neurons unlock the potential to reconstruct connectivity from 3D image stacks acquired by light microscopy. We present an application for semi-automated tracing of neurons to quickly annotate noisy datasets and construct complex neuronal topologies, which we call the Simple Neurite Tracer. © The Author 2011.
