Researchers have developed CALHippo, a novel system for mapping neurons and glial cells in the human brain's hippocampus in 3D. The system utilizes state-of-the-art segmentation networks, like CellPoseSAM, to identify and classify cell types from high-resolution brain slices. It then employs a UNet-based density estimation model to map these annotations onto lower-resolution slices, generating probabilistic cellular position maps and ultimately a 3D point cloud reconstruction of the hippocampus.
