Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Computational Biology
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Accurate inference of neuronal action potentials (spikes) from calcium imaging data is crucial for understanding neural activity.
  • Simultaneous recordings of spikes and calcium signals (ground truth) are scarce, hindering algorithm development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel algorithm for robust spike inference from calcium signals.
  • To create a comprehensive ground truth database for training and evaluating spike inference algorithms.

Main Methods:

  • Compiled a large, diverse ground truth database (>35 hours, 298 neurons) from zebrafish and mice.
  • Developed CASCADE, a supervised deep learning algorithm for spike rate inference.
  • Implemented self-retraining mechanism for optimizing performance on diverse imaging data without parameter tuning.

Main Results:

  • CASCADE outperforms existing model-based algorithms in spike inference accuracy.
  • The algorithm infers absolute spike rates effectively.
  • Systematic performance assessments for unseen data were developed.

Conclusions:

  • CASCADE offers a significant advancement in inferring neuronal spiking activity from calcium signals.
  • The developed database and toolbox facilitate further research in neural signal processing.
  • A user-friendly cloud implementation enhances accessibility for researchers.
