text: Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of living brain tissue down to an individual
synapse level would create opportunities for decoding the dynamics and structure–function
relationships of the brain’s complex and dense information processing network;
however, this has been hindered by insufficient 3D resolution, inadequate signal-to-noise
ratio and prohibitive light burden in optical imaging, whereas electron microscopy
is inherently static. Here we solved these challenges by developing an integrated
optical/machine-learning technology, LIONESS (live information-optimized nanoscopy
enabling saturated segmentation). This leverages optical modifications to stimulated
emission depletion microscopy in comprehensively, extracellularly labeled tissue
and previous information on sample structure via machine learning to simultaneously
achieve isotropic super-resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio and compatibility
with living tissue. This allows dense deep-learning-based instance segmentation
and 3D reconstruction at a synapse level, incorporating molecular, activity and
morphodynamic information. LIONESS opens up avenues for studying the dynamic functional
(nano-)architecture of living brain tissue.

text: Mapping the complex and dense arrangement of cells and their connectivity
in brain tissue demands nanoscale spatial resolution imaging. Super-resolution
optical microscopy excels at visualizing specific molecules and individual cells
but fails to provide tissue context. Here we developed Comprehensive Analysis
of Tissues across Scales (CATS), a technology to densely map brain tissue architecture
from millimeter regional to nanometer synaptic scales in diverse chemically fixed
brain preparations, including rodent and human. CATS uses fixation-compatible
extracellular labeling and optical imaging, including stimulated emission depletion
or expansion microscopy, to comprehensively delineate cellular structures. It
enables three-dimensional reconstruction of single synapses and mapping of synaptic
connectivity by identification and analysis of putative synaptic cleft regions.
Applying CATS to the mouse hippocampal mossy fiber circuitry, we reconstructed
and quantified the synaptic input and output structure of identified neurons.
We furthermore demonstrate applicability to clinically derived human tissue samples,
including formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded routine diagnostic specimens, for visualizing
the cellular architecture of brain tissue in health and disease.

text: "The brain is an exceptionally sophisticated organ consisting of billions
of cells and trillions of \r\nconnections that orchestrate our cognition and behavior.
To decode its complex connectivity, it is \r\npivotal to disentangle its intricate
architecture spanning from cm-sized circuits down to tens of \r\nnm-small synapses.\r\nTo
achieve this goal, I developed CATS – Comprehensive Analysis of nervous Tissue
across \r\nScales, a versatile toolbox for obtaining a holistic view of nervous
tissue context with (super\x02resolution) fluorescence microscopy. CATS combines
comprehensive labeling of the extracellular\r\nspace, that is compatible with
chemical fixation, with information on molecular markers, super\x02resolved data
acquisition and machine-learning based data analysis for segmentation and synapse
\r\nidentification.\r\nI used CATS to analyze key features of nervous tissue connectivity,
ranging from whole tissue \r\narchitecture, neuronal in- and output-fields, down
to synapse morphology.\r\nFocusing on the hippocampal circuitry, I quantified
synaptic transmission properties of mossy \r\nfiber boutons and analyzed the connectivity
pattern of dentate gyrus granule cells with CA3 \r\npyramidal neurons. This shows
that CATS is a viable tool to study hallmarks of neuronal \r\nconnectivity with
light microscopy."

text: Complex wiring between neurons underlies the information-processing network
enabling all brain functions, including cognition and memory. For understanding
how the network is structured, processes information, and changes over time, comprehensive
visualization of the architecture of living brain tissue with its cellular and
molecular components would open up major opportunities. However, electron microscopy
(EM) provides nanometre-scale resolution required for full in-silico
reconstruction1–5, yet is limited to fixed specimens and
static representations. Light microscopy allows live observation, with super-resolution
approaches6–12 facilitating nanoscale visualization, but
comprehensive 3D-reconstruction of living brain tissue has been hindered by tissue
photo-burden, photobleaching, insufficient 3D-resolution, and inadequate signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR). Here we demonstrate saturated reconstruction of living brain tissue.
We developed an integrated imaging and analysis technology, adapting stimulated
emission depletion (STED) microscopy6,13 in extracellularly
labelled tissue14 for high SNR and near-isotropic resolution.
Centrally, a two-stage deep-learning approach leveraged previously obtained information
on sample structure to drastically reduce photo-burden and enable automated volumetric
reconstruction down to single synapse level. Live reconstruction provides unbiased
analysis of tissue architecture across time in relation to functional activity
and targeted activation, and contextual understanding of molecular labelling.
This adoptable technology will facilitate novel insights into the dynamic functional
architecture of living brain tissue.

text: Mapping the complex and dense arrangement of cells and their connectivity
in brain tissue demands nanoscale spatial resolution imaging. Super-resolution
optical microscopy excels at visualizing specific molecules and individual cells
but fails to provide tissue context. Here we developed Comprehensive Analysis
of Tissues across Scales (CATS), a technology to densely map brain tissue architecture
from millimeter regional to nanoscopic synaptic scales in diverse chemically fixed
brain preparations, including rodent and human. CATS leverages fixation-compatible
extracellular labeling and advanced optical readout, in particular stimulated-emission
depletion and expansion microscopy, to comprehensively delineate cellular structures.
It enables 3D-reconstructing single synapses and mapping synaptic connectivity
by identification and tailored analysis of putative synaptic cleft regions. Applying
CATS to the hippocampal mossy fiber circuitry, we demonstrate its power to reveal
the system’s molecularly informed ultrastructure across spatial scales and assess
local connectivity by reconstructing and quantifying the synaptic input and output
structure of identified neurons.
