Large scale neuronal type classification using graph neural networks Open Access
Zhang, Allen (Spring 2023)
Abstract
Neuron classification is an important task in contemporary neuroscience, providing a deeper understanding of the intricate structure-function relationships of the brain. As more and more data are collected with advancements across domains, machine learning has emerged as an essential tool for automated data handling and analysis. While recent machine learning and traditional approaches to neuron classification have often relied on morphological or electrophysiological features, graph neural networks (GNNs) have not been extensively explored despite their effectiveness in analyzing complex and irregularly structured data. In this study, we show that supervised classification with GNNs on primary brain regions and cell types performs remarkably well across four large datasets. Our findings indicate that GNNs offer a distinctive and promising approach to neuron classification, with numerous potential avenues for future research.
