A Pipeline for Volume Electron Microscopy of the Caenorhabditis elegans Nervous System

A Pipeline for Volume Electron Microscopy of the Caenorhabditis elegans Nervous System

The “connectome,” a comprehensive wiring diagram of synaptic connectivity, is achieved through volume electron microscopy (vEM) analysis of an entire nervous system and all associated non-neuronal tissues. White et al. (1986) pioneered the fully manual reconstruction of a connectome using Caenorhabd...
