Front. Neuroinform. 6:21. doi: 10.3389/fninf.2012.00021

The main documentation for supplemental information associated with this paper is the github repository for the source code.

• This includes an easy installer script that will download sample data including:
  • raw confocal images (7 sample images, 260Mb, Biorad PIC format)
  • processed images for neurites (34 sample images, 106Mb, .mat file format)
  • processed images for cell bodies (34 sample images, 475Mb, Biorad PIC format)
  • registration data (53Mb)

All image data can be opened with ImageJ/Fiji. mat files will open in Matlab or Octave. Registration data was generated with the CMTK suite, which can be used for further analysis in conjunction with our own R code.

Note that all raw and registered images for the Cachero, Ostrovsky 2010 dataset are available on a hard drive on request to Greg Jefferis.
