their funding is mostly grants at the moment 07:51 < kanzure> need about $3M to pursue an entire library of aptamers for about ~120 brain cell surface receptors (for contrast agent imaging/labeling reasons) 07:52 < kanzure> i guess he's doing the long slog of aptamer development, although there are commitments from DFJ to move forward on condition of imaging an entire mouse connectome first 07:52 < fenn> dfj is funding academic labs now? 07:52 < kanzure> which i think is a big requirement.... doing this by grants for funding is going to take a long time, i think. 07:52 < kanzure> nah i mean they gave a commitment to fund a venture including the development work to translate from mouse to human 07:53 < kanzure> but it's conditional on doing a mouse first 07:53 < fenn> well that's a big milestone 07:53 < fenn> image a cell first ha 07:54 < kanzure> he has existing data for axon-resolution imaging from synchotron CT scanning 07:55 < kanzure> he mentioned one problem is clearing out aptamers from a live brain after imaging 07:55 < kanzure> i think you can just wait a long time and the aptamers should go away at some point? 07:56 < fenn> they will get degraded i guess 07:56 < fenn> by nucleases 07:56 < kanzure> but then you end up with different scans of different receptors at different times-- which is like getting 120 different brain scans each a month apart from each other (instead of a single brain scan on the same day) 07:57 < fenn> if only we had a way to print rna in a cell on demand 07:57 < fenn> this all sounds like permanent vaporware but i'd love to be proven wrong 07:58 < kanzure> what data would you want to see to get convinced it's not vaporware? 07:58 < fenn> a slice of tissue and its connectome 07:58 < kanzure> well you will only see the contrast imaging nanoparticles or whatever, not an actual connectome 07:59 < fenn> sure someone has to write the image processing software 07:59 < kanzure> say you have a neuron that targets something 1 cm away, 07:59 < fenn> but there are a lot of steps before you get a live brain's connectome 07:59 < kanzure> i don't think receptor labeling is going to show you that this particular neuron has anything to do with its target 1 cm away 08:00 < fenn> i mean there's a lot of AND's chained together in serial before it will work 08:00 < fenn> this has to work AND that has to work AND the other has to work ... 08:00 < kanzure> you could get all the synapse weights from this but you wont be able to figure out where neurons are connecting 08:01 < kanzure> am i missing something? 08:01 < fenn> is there no generic neuron membrane protein they can stain for? 08:01 < kanzure> your image would just be a big blob of color 08:01 < fenn> no it would be a lot of blobs of color 08:02 < kanzure> shadows from other neurons? it's the same reason why you can't see through a brain (most of the time). 08:02 < kanzure> i guess physical scanning on multiple perpendicular dimensions is helpful for this part 08:03 < fenn> there's gotta be some way to stain for something that gives you cell shape 08:03 < kanzure> sure that's not a proble 08:03 < kanzure> *problem 08:03 < kanzure> i'm suggesting that scanning all of that data will not give you deep membrane shape data 08:04 < kanzure> so basically you are asking for (1) a high-density tissue contrast agent and (2) a scanning technique that can spatially resolve deep-tissue labeled structures 08:05 < fenn> yep 08:06 < kanzure> i feel like people would be talking about both cell membrane labeling and synapse imaging then, because high-density cell membrane labeling and imaging is an interesting/useful tech development too. but for some reason i only hear about sub-synapse resolution? 08:06 < fenn> well synapses are made of cell membranes.. 08:07 < kanzure> i guess the individual cell structure of anything not brain is irrelevant and brain matter is the only interesting organ where we we think that might be relevant ?

modified rhabdovirus (rabies) is a good agent for crawling through neural connections and can also mark them; of course you get only what connects to what but no details about receptors, so only a very rough schema 08:07 < fenn> i guess people don't realize you can guess the synapse type from morphology alone and so they try to stain for neurotransmitter receptor proteins or whatever 08:08 < kanzure> synapse type and neuron type inference is often done based on neuron morphology sure 08:08 < fenn> the bloomberg video is just andrew hessel talking about human genome project 08:08 <

The UGCT facility is an open nano-CT facility giving access to scientists from universities, institutes and industry. More information can be found at UGCT-website." 08:13 < fenn> also wrt scanning living brains, that's a fucking huge data rate, and at modern computing bandwidths you'd be sitting in the scanner until you die of old age 08:13 < kanzure> so i think you would need to resolve individual neurons, dendrites and axons while also grabbing the synaptic weights. because if you do this in a separate pass or separate scan (especially if it was on a different day) then you will have a very big puzzle to figure out... 08:13 < fenn> .wa cubic nanometers per liter 08:13 < yoleaux> fenn: Sorry, no result! 08:14 < fenn> let's call it around a septillion 08:15 < fenn> i don't know what comes after exa- 08:15 < kanzure> if that's really the bottleneck then you would have to do inline/online data compression from the results, e.g. fuzzy storage of cell membrane shape using real-time image-based segmentation of membranes from the scan data 08:15 < kanzure> so.. a bunch of custom electronics. 08:16 < kanzure> i don't think CT can do multiple contrast agents at the same time, right? 08:16 < fenn> assuming a 1 cubic nanometer pixel size you'd need to massage around 1 million exabytes of data per channel? what's the maximum acceptable pixel size? 08:17 < fenn> yottabyte 08:17 < kanzure> i suppose you could do membrane labeling + one receptor in a single pass. the receptors are going to be clustered in very specific locations. and you could visually separate those from membrane. this is useful in the case of not having multiple "color" signals. 08:18 < kanzure> and then if you have a different scan after N hours (to let the aptamers or whatever degrade and float out of the system), you would have to do some sort of fuzzy matching on each of the 120 different passes, while capturing all the neural membranes each time, then do some sort of fuzzy matching on each of the data sets to do a merge (you can't do a straight-up merge because the biology has changed since your last scan) 08:19 < fenn> why 120? 08:20 < kanzure> i don't think you are going tobe able to visually discriminate close dendrites. the cell bodies are really packed together. the membranes are sometimes literally touching. so you wont be able to get the actual connectivity from this. i just don't see how. 08:20 < kanzure> he literally counted the number of known receptors and made a spreadsheet :) 08:20 < fenn> but we know a lot about where cell types are located and surely don't need to do one scan per receptor type 08:20 < kanzure> or at least the 120 he's interested in 08:21 < kanzure> anyway, you just wont get connectivity data out of this, i don't see how to do it 08:21 < fenn> you can visually discriminate dendrites if you have the cell membrane geometry and sufficient resolution 08:21 < kanzure> you could do some statistical testing bullshit where you re-initialize entire simulatoins with different assumptions about connectivity until you find something that works...... but there's a lot of possibilities, and there are way too many dendrites that are very physically close to each other. (perhaps you could argue that physically close dendrites leak to each other anyway, and therefore it doesnt' matter? but this is a big assumption) 08:22 < kanzure> both of the two (touching) membranes are in very close proximity 08:22 < kanzure> eh i guess you could infer it..... and if you're wrong, uh.. 08:22 < fenn> no i'm not saying infer it or assume they leak or anything, i'm saying visually trace them based on the geometry 08:23 < fenn> geez do i need to find a picture 08:23 < kanzure> your solution is basically "use even higher resolution scanning"? 08:26 < kanzure> well at least we have a hypothetical alternative solution (rna/dna barcoding for connectomics) (which is lacking a speculative method for receptor density recording, although marblestone would say "just record it on dna in the cell"-- mRNA transcripts wont be enough because you need the actual density at each synapse not for the whole neuron's aggregate receptor expression with all of its umpteen thousand synapses) 08:27 < fenn> i have too many tabs open apparently 08:27 < kanzure> fenn: see PM 08:28 < fenn> https://elife-publishing-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/04047/elife-04047-fig5-v2.jpg (from https://elifesciences.org/content/3/e04047 ) 08:29 < fenn> scale cube is 0.5 micron 08:30 < fenn> 0.5 um^3 08:30 < fenn> bah who uses scale cubes 08:30 < fenn> at least pick a round number like 1 08:37 < fenn> he says "synaptic weights" so i guess everyone is just crazy 08:37 < kanzure> well he has also been doing some software work so i wouldn't be surprised if he says it both ways 08:37 < kanzure> density/distribution is right, but the actual physical placement on the synapse is sort of irrelevant 08:38 < kanzure> actually i guess we should do a simulation to confirm that irrelevance -_- 08:38 -!- ebowden_ [~ebowden@2001:8003:100e:c500:c164:4959:52e8:c1d2] has joined ##hplusroadmap 08:38 < fenn> why are they making aptamers?
