1 Introduction The ratio of the lengths of the second (2D, the index finger) and fourth (4D, the ring finger) digits in humans is known as the digit ratio (2D:4D). The 2D:4D appears set by the end of the first trimester of pregnancy (Galis et al. 2010; Malas et al. 2006) and is stable throughout life (McIntyre et al. 2005; Trivers et al. 2006).

AbstractElectron microscopy is essential for the quantitative study of synaptic ultrastructure. At present, the correlation of functional and structural properties of the same synapse is extremely challenging. We introduce a novel integrated workflow designed to simplify sample navigation across spatial scales, allowing the identification of individual synapses from optical microscopy mouse brain image stacks that can be targeted for analysis using electron tomography imaging.
