Dopaminergic Cell Detection
The Dopaminergic Cell Detector (DCD) accurately quantifies TH+ neurons in the substantia nigra, a critical biomarker for Parkinson's disease. This model achieves comparable accuracy to traditional stereology, but with significantly reduced variability and increased throughput, identifying cell loss patterns with high precision.
Dopaminergic Axon Density
Our Dopaminergic Axon Detector (DAD) measures TH+ axonal density in the dorsal striatum. This allows for early detection of neurodegenerative changes, which often precede neuronal cell body loss. The DAD model provides robust performance across varied experimental conditions and correlates strongly with manual optical density analysis.
Neuronal Cell Integrity
The Neuronal Cell Detector (NCD) quantifies NeuN+ neurons across 28 distinct brain regions. This enables a comprehensive, brain-wide assessment of neuronal loss, linking specific regional neurodegeneration to behavioral deficits and protein aggregation patterns. Its multi-layer architecture detects both cellular area and individual cells.
Microglial Reactivity
The Microglial Cell Detector (MCD) automatically quantifies Iba1+ microglia and assesses their reactive state using morphological metrics like circularity. This model provides crucial insights into neuroinflammation patterns, detecting changes in microglial density and phenotype across multiple brain regions, vital for understanding disease progression.
Alpha-Synuclein Pathology
The pSer129-aSyn Detector (pSynD) identifies and classifies pSer129-aSyn pathology into neuritic and cellular inclusions. This model offers precise anatomical mapping and quantitative data on inclusion numbers and morphology, overcoming limitations of traditional semi-quantitative methods and enabling dynamic studies of protein aggregation spread.

Correlation between DCD and Stereology for TH+ Cell Counts
Our Dopaminergic Cell Detector (DCD) showed a high correlation with traditional stereology, validating its accuracy for quantifying TH+ neurons in the substantia nigra, a key marker for Parkinson's disease.

Real-World Impact: Accelerated Synucleinopathy Research
Challenge:
A leading pharmaceutical company faced significant delays in their preclinical drug discovery pipeline due to the laborious and inconsistent manual histological assessment of mouse models for synucleinopathies. Quantifying neuronal loss, neuroinflammation, and alpha-synuclein aggregates across multiple brain regions was a bottleneck, taking months for each study and limiting the number of compounds tested.
Our Solution:
We implemented our suite of five CNN-based models (DCD, DAD, NCD, MCD, pSynD) into their workflow. The models were custom-trained on their specific mouse models and staining protocols, ensuring seamless integration and high accuracy tailored to their research.
Results:
The integration led to a 90% reduction in analysis time per study, from ~8 weeks to less than 1 week. Data consistency improved by over 70%, reducing inter-operator variability. This acceleration allowed the company to screen 3 times more compounds annually, significantly shortening their lead optimization phase and identifying promising therapeutic candidates faster. The detailed, brain-wide data also provided deeper insights into disease mechanisms, leading to more targeted experimental designs.
