Confocal micrographs and complete dataset of neuromuscular junction morphology of pelvic limb muscles of the pig (Sus scrofa)

This dataset entails the complete NMJ dataset for three pigs and the three muscles analysed for the publication "Comparative anatomy of the mammalian neuromuscular junction" (https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.13260). This includes spreadsheets (.csv) containing morphometric variables of neuromuscular junction morphology generated using NMJ-morph or aNMJ-morph, as well as muscle fibre diameter (MFD) data for completeness. The three muscles analysed are: extensor digitorum longus (EDL), peroneus longus (PL) and soleus (S). Data contains raw microscope images (.nd2), thresholded and cleaned images of pre- and post-synapse (.tif) and the thresholded and cleaned images of the intermediate muscle endplate (.tif) for the muscle soleus since the "aNMJ-morph" macro saves this intermediate image for measurement of endplate variables. The full data set description is in the readme_file.txt.
