Project 3 The principal goal of Project 3 is to better link the behaviors of zebrafish to underlying synaptic circuitry. In both the central and peripheral nervous systems we will leverage recent advances in high throughput serial section electron microscopy to acquire high resolution image data and then use new machine learning approaches to analyze this data. This effort will use three kinds of approaches: 1) sparse manual reconstructions of particular pathways related to particular behaviors, 2) dense reconstruction of synaptic connections to reveal all the input and output of neurons that is spatially correlated to markers that show excitatory and inhibitory cell types and activity, and 3) saturated reconstructions that also provide glial, vascular, sensory end organs and muscle (cardiac, skeletal and smooth). The zebrafish is the only vertebrate animal where obtaining a saturated reconstruction of the entire nervous system is conceivable. The connectomic data will be used initially to test the validity of published models of how a behavior is instantiated in the nervous system. In the likely event that there is some difference between what was expected based on published models and what is found, these data will be used to help formulate new models. Second, the data will be used to reveal previously unknown pathways, such as those that interconnect the autonomic and somatic nervous systems. Finally we will build the necessary infrastructure so the data can be used as a public, freely addressable atlas for any researcher who has interest in tracking the long and short range neural pathways that underlie vertebrate behavior at the resolution of single synapses.

项目3 项目 3 的主要目标是更好地将斑马鱼的行为与潜在的突触回路联系起来。在这两个 中枢和周围神经系统我们将利用高通量串行切片电子的最新进展 显微镜来获取高分辨率图像数据，然后使用新的机器学习方法来分析这些数据。这 工作将使用三种方法：1）与特定相关的特定路径的稀疏手动重建 行为，2）突触连接的密集重建，以揭示神经元在空间上的所有输入和输出 与显示兴奋性和抑制性细胞类型和活动的标记相关，3）饱和重建也 提供神经胶质、血管、感觉终末器官和肌肉（心脏、骨骼和平滑肌）。 斑马鱼是唯一一种能够获得整个神经系统饱和重建的脊椎动物 可以想象的。连接组数据最初将用于测试已发布的行为模型的有效性 在神经系统中实例化。在可能的情况下，基于的预期与预期存在一些差异 已发布的模型以及发现的内容，这些数据将用于帮助制定新模型。二、数据将被使用 揭示以前未知的途径，例如那些互连自主神经和躯体神经系统的途径。 最后，我们将建立必要的基础设施，以便数据可以用作公共的、可自由寻址的地图集，供任何人使用。 对追踪脊椎动物行为背后的长程和短程神经通路感兴趣的研究人员 单个突触的分辨率。
