CytoNet: A Foundation Model for the Human Cerebral Cortex at Cellular Resolution
Christian Schiffer, Zeynep Boztoprak, Jan-Oliver Kropp +8
Studying the cellular architecture of the human cerebral cortex is essential for understanding how the brain is organized from the micro to the macro level, and how it functions. H…
Cytoarchitecture in Words: Weakly Supervised Vision-Language Modeling for Human Brain Microscopy
Matthew Sutton, Katrin Amunts, Timo Dickscheid +1
Vision foundation models increasingly support interactive scientific workflows, but natural-language interaction requires coupling visual representations to language. Curated image…
From Fibers to Cells: Fourier-Based Registration Enables Virtual Cresyl Violet Staining From 3D Polarized Light Imaging
Alexander Oberstrass, Esteban Vaca, Eric Upschulte +7
Comprehensive assessment of the various aspects of the brain's microstructure requires the use of complementary imaging techniques. This includes measuring the spatial distribution…
Scattering polarimetry enables correlative nerve fiber imaging and multimodal analysis
Franca auf der Heiden, Markus Axer, Katrin Amunts +1
Mapping the intricate network of nerve fibers is crucial for understanding brain function. Three-Dimensional Polarized Light Imaging (3D-PLI) and Computational Scattered Light Imag…
Self-Supervised Representation Learning for Nerve Fiber Distribution Patterns in 3D-PLI
Alexander Oberstrass, Sascha E. A. Muenzing, Meiqi Niu +5
A comprehensive understanding of the organizational principles in the human brain requires, among other factors, well-quantifiable descriptors of nerve fiber architecture. Three-di…
