Topic: neuron quantification

Quantification of neuron populations, stratified across brain regions, provides a foundation for understanding the function of brain circuits. For this reason, accurate quantification is vital. To achieve this, all tissue slices need to be aligned with a reference atlas, have neurons of interest segmented, and subsequently have per-region aggregates computed. These steps are repetitive, tedious, time-consuming, and require expert domain knowledge to perform manually. Automated solutions are therefore desired. However, fully automatic neuron population quantification remains a challenge, due to
