The Cell Body is the start of the Cell, where from the dendrites start. There isn't much scientific value to tracing a cell body or CB and when they're not frozen by admins players are encouraged to skip those cubes including a CB inside them. Ganglion cells may have an axon whereas SACs (Starburst amacrine cells) do not have axons.

The Cell Body (which is sometimes referred to as a soma, perikaryon, or cyton) is the large bulbous part of a neuron, which contains the cell nucleus as well as most of the other organelles in a neuron. Because it has most of the organelles, most of the proteins are synthesized in the cell body. For the purpose of Retinal Connectomics, the cell body is generally uninformative, except on rare occasions, the cell body is the postsynaptic terminal in a synapse. As well as having the nucleus, the dendrites and usually an axon also branch off of the cell body.

In EyeWire the cell bodies are often frozen because they take a lot of time to trace, are uninformative, and the AI (Artificial Intelligence) has trouble with them, since it's designed for dendrites.

  • Sometimes the Cell Body is outside the dataset

  • A "normal" Cell Body without mergers or removed cubes

  • Because the cell body is not being studied, certain cubes are often left out, as they don't lead to dendrites.

  • A Cell Body that the AI has merged with another Cell Body. Frozen by an admin so that it won't grow.
