The invention discloses a method for observing the shape and number of synapses in a dentate gyrus region based on image analysis, and relates to the technical field of neurobiology. The method comprises the following steps: S1, tissue treatment: after an experimental animal is anesthetized, pouring a buffer solution and a stationary solution into the heart in stages, separating hippocampus tissue, trimming and fixing, pre-cooling, slicing and preserving at low temperature; s2, dyeing and marking: performing targeted marking on the dentate gyrus area of the sea horse by adopting DiI particles through a fine tungsten steel through needle, and preserving at low temperature after incubation; s3, fixing and mounting: fixing for the second time, and mounting with an anti-fluorescence quenching agent after DAPI nuclear dyeing; s4, confocal imaging is carried out, exclusive parameter layer scanning is set, and qualified dendritic spine images are screened; and image quantitative analysis can be further carried out, and accurate quantification is realized according to classification standards. The method is standard in operation, greatly improves sample quality and experimental result credibility, optimizes experimental efficiency and controllability and reduces technical threshold by means of targeted marking and standardized processes, and is suitable for relevant basis and application research of the hippocampal synapses.

The application relates to the technical field of brain science image processing, and discloses a brain tissue neuron morphology three-dimensional reconstruction and connection group analysis method and system. The method comprises the following steps: feature point extraction and matching and optical flow registration are performed on continuous ultrathin section electron microscope images to obtain three-dimensional image body data; a three-dimensional deep convolutional neural network is used for semantic segmentation of cell bodies, dendrites, axons and dendritic spines, and secondary registration is driven through confidence feedback; synapses are detected and classified into excitatory or inhibitory types; topological perception skeletonization reconstruction is performed, and segmentation correction is constrained through topological anomaly feedback; and a synapse connection matrix is constructed, and graph theory analysis is performed.
