TL;DR: Simulated synaptic activity is consistent with experimental recordings of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents only when ectopic transmission is included in the model, broadening the possibilities for mechanisms of neuronal communication.

TL;DR: This serial-tomography method allows the use of sufficiently thin sections to achieve adequate resolution with electron tomography, yet enables the generation of large reconstructions with considerably fewer sections than would be required using a serial thin section reconstruction technique.

TL;DR: The CCDB was formally launched in 2002 as an on-line repository of high-resolution 3D light and electron microscopic reconstructions of cells and subcellular structures and how it is used by the scientific community is provided.

TL;DR: A platform-independent Web-based system written in Java is described that supplements automated functions with video-guided interactive, collaborative remote control and data acquisition from an intermediate-high-voltage electron microscope.

TL;DR: The Telescience Portal is presented as an example of a fully integrated, web-based solution for performing end-to-end electron tomography, and is a test-bed application for using grid resources to accelerate the throughput of data acquisition and processing, increase access to scarce and/or expensive instrumentation, and improve the accuracy of derived data products.
