Background:

Three-dimensional (3D) tissue reconstruction and analysis are crucial for understanding molecular and functional changes in tissues.
Existing methods can be labor-intensive and may not be suitable for all tissue types, including archived samples.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an automated system, AutoCUTS-LM, for advanced 3D tissue reconstruction and cellular analysis using light microscopy.
To apply this system to archived human cerebral cortex tissue to analyze cellular structure and spatial organization.

Main Methods:

Advanced tissue sampling of the human cerebral cortex.
Automated serial section collection and digital tissue library creation.
Convolution neural network-based cell detection and 3D cell reconstruction.
Advanced analysis of cellular morphology and spatial distribution.

Main Results:

Detailed characterization of pyramidal cells, including number, volume, diameter, sphericity, and orientation.
Demonstration of a columnar organization of pyramidal cells in the human cerebral cortex.
Successful application of the automated pipeline to archived tissue samples.

Conclusions:

The AutoCUTS-LM system provides an efficient and automated approach for 3D tissue and cellular analysis.
This pipeline enables detailed insights into tissue architecture and cellular organization in both biological and pathological contexts.
The findings highlight the columnar structure of pyramidal cells in the human cerebral cortex.
