Dendritic-spine classification

Dendritic spines, membranous protrusions of neurons, are one of the few prominent characteristics of neurons. Neuron activity changes modify spine morphology. Spine morphological analysis can play a significant role in inferring the inherent relationship between neuronal activity and spine morphology variations. This analysis is currently performed manually due to the deficiency of fully automated and reliable tools. This project aims for developing new probabilistic and machine-learning based image processing algorithms for the dendritic-spines classification from two-photon microscopy images.
