A labeled three-dimensional atlas of the human brain created from MRI images. In conjunction are presented anatomically labeled stained sections that correspond to the three-dimensional MRI images. The stained sections are from a different brain than the one which was scanned for the MRI images. Also available the major anatomical features of the human hypothalamus, axial sections stained for cell bodies or for nerve fibers, at six rostro-caudal levels of the human brain stem; images and Quicktime movies. The MRI subject was a 22-year-old adult male. Differing techniques used to study the anatomy of the human brain all have their advantages and disadvantages. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for the three-dimensional viewing of the brain and structures, precise spatial relationships and some differentiation between types of tissue, however, the image resolution is somewhat limited. Stained sections, on the other hand, offer excellent resolution and the ability to see individual nuclei (cell stain) or fiber tracts (myelin stain), however, there are often spatial distortions inherent in the staining process. The nomenclature used is from Paxinos G, and Watson C. 1998. The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, 4th ed. Academic Press. San Diego, CA. 256 pp

These volumes were created using data from ICBM project. 6 different templates are available: * ICBM 2009a Nonlinear Symmetric - template which includes T1w,T2w,PDw modalities, also T2 relaxometry (T2 values calculated for each subject using single dual echo PD/T2 scan), and tissue probabilities maps. Also included lobe atlas used for ANIMAL+INSECT segmentation, brain mask, eye mask and face mask. Intensity inhomogeneity was performed using N3 version 1.10.1. * ICBM 2009a Nonlinear Asymmetric template - template which includes T1w,T2w,PDw modalities, and tissue probabilities maps. Intensity inhomogeneity was performed using N3 version 1.10.1.

Data sets from the atlasing of the basal ganglia (ATAG) consortium, which provides ultra-high resolution 7Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans from young, middle-aged, and elderly participants. They include whole-brain and reduced field-of-view MP2RAGE and T2 scans with ultra-high resolution at a sub millimeter scale. The data can be used to develop new algorithms that help building new high-resolution atlases both in the basic and clinical neurosciences. They can also be used to inform the exact positioning of deep-brain electrodes relevant in patients with Parkinsons disease and neuropsychiatric diseases.

Evolving portal that will provide interactive tools and resources to allow researchers, clinicians, and students to discover, analyze, and visualize what is known about the brain's organization, and what the evidence is for that knowledge. This project has a current experimental focus: creating the first brainwide mesoscopic connectivity diagram in the mouse. Related efforts for the human brain currently focus on literature mining and an Online Brain Atlas Reconciliation Tool. The primary goal of the Brain Architecture Project is to assemble available knowledge about the structure of the nervous system, with an ultimate emphasis on the human CNS. Such information is currently scattered in research articles, textbooks, electronic databases and datasets, and even as samples on laboratory shelves. Pooling the knowledge across these heterogeneous materials - even simply getting to know what we know - is a complex challenge that requires an interdisciplinary approach and the contributions and support of the greater community. Their approach can be divided into 4 major thrusts: * Literature Curation and Text Mining * Computational Analysis * Resource Development * Experimental Efforts

http://www.brainarchitecture.org/mouse-home

An atlas project whose goal is to enerate brainwide maps of inter-regional neural connectivity that specify the inputs and outputs of every brain region, at a "mesoscopic" level of analysis. A 3D injection viewer is used to view the mouse brain. To determine the outputs of a brain region, anterograde tracers are used which are taken up by neurons locally ("the input"), then transported actively down the axons to the "output regions." The whole brain is then sliced thinly, and each slice is digitally imaged. These 2-D images are reconstructed in 3D. The majority of the resulting 3-D brain image is unlabeled. Only the injected region and its output regions have tracer in them, allowing for identification of this small fraction of the connectivity map. This procedure is repeated identically, to account for individual variability. To determine the inputs to the same brain region as above, a retrograde tracer is injected in the same stereotaxic location ("the input"), and the process is repeated. In order to accumulate data from different mice (each of whom has a slightly different brain shape and size), 3-D spatial normalization is performed using registration algorithms. These gigapixel images of whole-brain sections can be zoomed to show individual neurons and their processes, providing a "virtual microscope." Each sampled brain is represented in about 500 images, each image showing an optical section through a 20 micron-thick slice of brain tissue. A multi-resolution viewer permits users to journey through each brain, following the pathways taken through three-dimensional brain space by tracer-labeled neuronal pathways. A key point is that at the mid-range "mesoscopic" scale, the team expects to assemble a picture of connections that are stereotypical and probably genetically determined in a species-specific manner. By dividing the volume of a hemisphere of the mouse brain into 250 equidistant, predefined grid-points, and administering four different kinds of tracer injections at each grid point -- in different animals of the same sex and age a complete wiring diagram that will be stitched together in "shotgun" fashion from the full dataset.

Abbreviated reference atlas for the Embryonic 15.5 post conception day mouse. All sections were nissl stained and digitized. To assist in the initial identification of sites of gene expression sites, maps of brains are available for E15.5, P7 and the adult. These maps depict the boundaries of major brain regions (cortex, thalamus, striatum, globus pallidus, ventral striatum, septum, basal forebrain, hippocampus, midbrain, pons, medulla, cerebellum) and also show the more prominent nerve tracts. Maps are most efficiently used by placing the window depicting the map of interest next to the gene expression image. Browsing between planes of sectioning is permitted thus allowing the most appropriate plane to be selected. The annotation of anatomical details such as brain nuclei is currently beyond the scope of the GenePaint database. Hence, such information on the anatomy of the brain and embryo should be obtained from published atlases of mouse anatomy (Kaufman, 1995; Paxinos and Franklin, 2001; Jacobowitz and Abbott, 1997; Schambra et al., 1992; Valverde1998).
