An integrated micro- and macroarchitectural analysis of the Drosophila brain by computer-assisted serial section electron microscopy.

The analysis of microcircuitry (the connectivity at the level of individual neuronal processes and synapses), which is indispensable for our understanding of brain function, is based on serial transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or one of its modern variants. Due to technical limitations, most pr...
