Project

SyConn-Neuroglancer provides web access to connectomic datasets processed with SyConn. It is based on a fork of the original google/neuroglancer project developed and maintained by Jeremy Maitin-Shepard at Google Research in Viren Jain’s team, with contributions from many other research organizations. We aim to keep our fork in sync with the upstream project and contribute as much as possible back to the original code base.

SyConn web provides an analysis interface for simple connectomic queries, such as filtering of the neurons based on properties, the identification of pre- and postsynaptic neurons or the listing of different cell types and is continuously extended by us based on actual analysis needs. Please write to us if you are interested in a specific analysis that might be particularly useful.

The Team

This project is developed in the Kornfeld laboratory at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence (in foundation) in Martinsried, Germany. We would like to thank Eric Perlman for neuroglancer development support.
