Existing Methods to Reconstruct Neural Connections.
There are several existing methods that are published. In this post I’m going to describe some of them. Neural connectivity analyzing using Connectivity Matrix construction [1] As I said in the previous post, we gather the pairwise neural connections using calcium florescence imaging [2]. And using this method we can discover and analyze the neural connectivity. At the end of the post I will mention the references and if you interested in this method you can refer them. This method uses Matrix completion methods and local thresholding to reconstruct neural connections. Basically this method has three steps. Connectivity Matrix Semi-Construction Suppose there are N neurons are in the sample, then we use NxN dimension matrix to denote the pairwise connections that identified from the Calcium Florescence Imaging. But in this step we enter only fraction of data to the connectivity matrix. The completion of other half of the matrix will done in th...
