Eyewire II offers a unique opportunity for you to contribute to the detailed mapping of retinal structures using cutting-edge technology, while answering exciting new research questions about how vision works.
The dataset comprises a 1-by-1 mm area of a mouse retina, currently spanning from the ganglion cell layer (GCL) into the inner nuclear layer, at some spots already reaching into the outer plexiform layer (OPL). In the long run, the plan is to complete the volume such that it includes the OPL across the whole field. The voxel size is 8x8x40 nm; the tissue is conventionally stained and includes synapses.
Moreover, it contains 5 recording fields (each approx. 90-by-90 microns) where the responses of the GCL to a set of visual stimuli (i.e. chirps, moving bars, natural movies) were recorded using 2P Ca2+ imaging.
