Macaque Ground-Truth Projectome
Create a primate reference dataset that tests long-range tracing.
The bottleneck
Large-brain optical connectomics needs ground truth for reliable axon tracing and reconstruction.
The proposed work
Map roughly 100,000 sparsely labeled neurons and release an open reference dataset.
PL R&D’s proposed role
PL’s role is to be confirmed. The source proposes a field-level program but does not establish PL’s specific delivery responsibility.
What we would examine
Validated neurons, quantified tracing failure modes, and scientific use of the reference data.
