A challenge in neuroscience research is to understand the mechanisms underlying synapse formation and how nerve cells contact each other to transmit information.
Most excitatory synapses in the brain are built on actin-rich dendritic protrusions called spines and, as numerous psychiatric and neurological diseases are accompanied by alterations of spine numbers or size, the elucidation of mechanisms that regulate formation and plasticity of spinous synapses is vital.

In 1997 Wayne Rasband, computer scientist at the National Institutes of Health (NIH, Bethesda, USA), released the first version of ImageJ. It is the successor of the image processing software NIH Image, which was well known at this time. NIH Image was exclusively tied to the Macintosh platform, the new software, however, is independent from platforms since it is completely programmed in Java, the lingua franca in the computer world.
