<IMG SRC="pcell.gif" > This page contains supplementary data to our papers published on 3D structure and synaptic convergence onto rat hippocampal CA1 area interneurons and pyramidal cells.

You are wellcome to download files.  When referring to the database please quote:
for interneurons:

for pyramidal cells:

For reprints, or if you want information on further papers of reconstructed
hippocampal cell send a mail!

The reconstructed cells can be seen here in 3D (at the moment only the PV cells), in a Virtual Reality World .
Be careful the download might take a while since large amount of data have to be transferred. Try it if you have quick connection!

Supplementary data to CA1 pyramidal cell morphology and synapse distribution:

Data from the light microscopical phase:

  • the length of different dendrite types
    • either in Microsoft Excel (5.0/95 Workbook) format
    • or in a table
  • cell body parameters (We measured surface and volume. The perimeteres can be calculated assuming the cell body is a spheroid (radii x=y<z)
    • either in Microsoft Excel (5.0/95 Workbook) format
    • or in a table
  • data on the detailed structure and on the geometry of the reconstructed CA1 pyramidal cells in several file formats such as:
    • image (.jpg), VRML (.wrl), a text file describing the length, diameter and connectivity of segments forming the dendritic tree (.seg) suitable for compartmental modelling, detailed geometry of the dendritic trees providing all points with diameter and branching structure in two formats (.ntr and .swc)

Data from the electronmicroscopical phase:

  • density of synapses on different types of dendrites
    • either in Microsoft Excel (5.0/95 Workbook) format
    • or in a table
  • estimated number of inputs on individual cells
    • either in Microsoft Excel (5.0/95 Workbook) format
    • or in a table
 

Detailed data of Parvalbumin (PV), Calbindin D28k (CB) and Calretinin (CR) immunoreactive interneurons: 

Data from the light microscopical phase:

  • the length of different dendrite types for all individual cells
    • either in Microsoft Excel (5.0/95 Workbook) format
    • or in separate tables for PV, CB and CR cells
  • cell body parameters
    • either in Microsoft Excel (5.0/95 Workbook) format
    • or in a table
  • data on the detailed structure and on the geometry of PV, CB and CR containing interneurons in several file formats such as:
    • image (.jpg)
    • VRML (.wrl),
    • a text file describing the length, diameter and connectivity of segments forming the dendritic tree (.seg) suitable for compartmental modelling
