What freeware would you recommend for tracing neurons in a tiff stack?

20 September 2018 1 1K Report

I've acquired a stack of tiff images from a volume of brain tissue. I'm trying to find an automated program (not semiautomated) which will allow me to trace the neurites within this volume.

Logan Thrasher Collins ImageJ has many plugins available both for semi-automated and fully automated neurite tracing. One example of a fully automated plugin can be downloaded here: http://fournierlab.mcgill.ca/styled-6/NeuriteTracer.html
