The retina is a multilayered neural tissue at the back of the eye that converts light into electrical signals through photoreceptor cells. Several layers of cells perform the first steps of visual computation, including contrast regulation, object detection and motion perception, before sending information through the optic nerve to the brain. Beginning in 2018, we began acquiring and reconstructing a volume (1 mm*1 mm*80 µm mm3) of the mouse retina, comprising the ganglion cell layer, inner plexiform and nuclear layers, and starting with the outer plexiform layer. EyeWire II is an online community for proofreading, annotation, and scientific discovery in the new mouse retinal dataset. As of January 2025, the dataset has been segmented and proofreading has begun.
