The new release comes with a number of new features/short-cuts for neuron tracing/editing, and new plugins including synapse_detector for synapse detection.

Vaa3D (in Chinese ‘挖三维’) is an Open Source, award-winning visualization and analysis software suite created mainly by Janelia Research Campus, HHMI and Allen Institute for Brain Science. The software performs 3D, 4D and 5D rendering and analysis of very large image data sets, especially those generated using various modern microscopy methods, and associated 3D surface objects.

Vaa3D has been used in hundreds of high profile publications in Nature, Science, Cell, Neuron, IEEE Transactions, etc. It is used as platform software for several of the largest brain research initiatives in the world.

How to run Vaa3D?

-Windows: After downloading the zipped file, unzip and double click the vaa3d_msvc.exe file to run.
-Mac: Download and unzip the file, then move it into /Applications folder, then you can find and right-click on the 'vaa3d64.app' to launch it.
-Linux: After downloading Vaa3D, first run 'tar zxvf [filename]' and then enter the produced folder, and run './start_vaa3d.sh'.
