Probabilistic fluorescence-based synapse detection

Fig 12

False positive synaptogram.

Synaptogram showing a ‘false positive.’ Presynaptic and postsynaptic proteins are visible and experts would often label this a synapse presented with IF data alone, but no synapse was identified in the corresponding EM section. The algorithm makes the same mistake as a human expert. Each ‘block’ is 1.069μ m ×1.011μ m. As before, the bottom panel shows enlarged, consecutive slices of the EM data, which was used to manually annotate the synapse. The scale bar on the lower left side is 500 nm.
