Rat Hippocampal Dendrite 3D EM Images and Quantitative Analysis Data

3DEM dataset from rat hippocampal area CA1 used for the paper 'Dendritic spine density scales with microtubule number in rat hippocampal dendrites'. The collection includes serial section EM image series with trace files for Reconstruct software analysis, plus spreadsheets and figures summarizing quantitative data. Author Masaaki Kuwajima published this data via the Texas Data Repository in 2024.

Use Cases

• Quantify dendritic spine density based on serial section EM image series.
• Analyze the relationship between microtubule number and spine density using provided trace files and spreadsheets.
• Validate computational models of neuronal microstructure based on high-resolution 3D EM data.
• Perform comparative morphometric analysis of hippocampal CA1 stratum radiatum dendrites.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a specific published paper, providing clear research context.
• Includes both raw image series and derived quantitative spreadsheets, offering multiple analysis entry points.
• Last updated on 2024 03 18 09:49:46, indicating recent metadata maintenance.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file sizes are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
