Analyzing the structure of neuronal fibers with single axon resolution, in large volumes, remains an unresolved challenge in connectomics. Here, we propose MAGIC (Myelin Autofluorescence imaging by Glycerol Induced Contrast enhancement), a simple tissue preparation method to perform label-free fluorescence imaging of myelinated fibers. We demonstrate its broad applicability by performing mesoscopic reconstruction at sub-micron resolution of mouse, rat, monkey, and human brain samples and by quantifying the different fiber organization in Control and Reeler mouses hippocampal sections.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
