We're about to launch a new tool that will help scientists studying the brain perform their research faster. The new software, called AutoSynapse automatically detects and analyzes pre-synaptic markers such as synaptophysin and post-synaptic markers such as PSD95, then uses nearby dendrites traced with AutoNeuron or Neurolucida to analyze which of those synaptic markers are associated with particular dendrites. Up until now, this method for analyzing...
