Project Description

This dataset contains electron microscopy reconstructions obtained from a single 250 x 140 x 90 µm volume from layer 2/3 of a P36 male mouse visual cortex imaged at 3.58 x 3.58 x 40 nm resolution with a dense segmentation and proofreading of the axons and dendrites that are contained within the volume.  The data released here contains reconstructions from 301 neurons whose cell bodies reside within the volume.  The dataset was acquired and analyzed as part of the IARPA MICrONS (Machine Intelligence from Cortical Networks) program, which funded a collaboration between the Allen Institute for Brain Science, Princeton University and Baylor College of Medicine. 

The downloadable reconstruction files are hosted by the Brain Image Library in Pittsburgh. The data directory is subject to their website terms of use. All reconstruction files, as well as the file manifest and cell metadata downloads, are subject to CC 4.0.
