New Algorithm Tracks Neurons in Bendy Brain of Freely Crawling Worm

Caption

Nguyen and colleagues developed a new algorithm to find and track neurons in 3-D fluorescent images of a moving worm. Identified neurons are shown as colored dots and are overlaid on top of an image of an optical section of the brain.
