Computer-assisted 3D analysis of cell distributions in the normal and epileptic cerebral cortex: description of a methodology in progress.

• This paper describes software routines that (a) visualizes a stack of several thousands of aligned sequential photographic two-dimensional (2D) images stored in an image processing system; (b) creates a data base containing information about objects identified sequentially from the 2D images; (c) transfers the data base to a graphical terminal; (d) reconstructs a three-dimensional (3D) object space; and (e) supports on-line interaction between the image processing system and the graphical terminal. As an application example, the cell content of a prism of motor cerebral cortex of the cat is reconstructed. Preliminary results from reconstructing human epileptic temporal cortex (cortical microdysgenesia) are also reported.
