Wildenberg et al. — cortical synapse development across species
Synaptic development compared across mouse and primate cortex — one of the few EM datasets built for a cross-species question.
| Species | Mouse and primate |
|---|---|
| Region | Cortical synapses |
| Modality | EM reconstruction, developmental comparison |
| Access | Open |
| Status | Released |
Most connectomics datasets are one species, one animal, one time point. This one is built to compare, tracking cortical synapse development in mouse and primate.
What it is good for. The comparative question the field mostly cannot yet ask. Use it when a learner assumes a mouse result transfers to human.
What it does not support. Whole-circuit analysis; the sampling is designed for synapse-level statistics, not connectivity.
