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.
How to get involved
Production pages should offer a reviewed, program-specific route to contribute expertise, partner, or discuss funding. No intake or outreach is connected here.
