Acquisition of a Computer-Based System for Research on Neuronal Processes

这项提议要求提供经费，用于购买计算机辅助系统，以重建、测量和统计分析切面或整体神经组织的神经元突起。所有描述的项目的中心目标是了解神经元的详细结构及其相互之间的解剖关系，ıS如何将其转化为神经系统的精确功能。其中五个主要使用者的项目利用昆虫神经系统的各个方面作为测试对象，第六个使用者研究两栖动物神经系统的神经发育。

This proposal requests funds for the purchase of a computer- aided system for the reconstruction, measurement and statistical analysis of neuronal processes from sectioned or whole-mounted nervous tissue. The central goal of all the projects described is to understand how the detailed structure of neurons and their anatomical relationshipıs with one another translate into the precise functioning of the nervous system. Five of the major users have projects that utilize various aspects of the insect nervous system as test subjects, a sixth investigates neural development in the amphibian nervous system.
