Brain atlases provide spatial reference systems for neuroscience, giving the ability to navigate, characterise and analyse information on the basis of anatomical location. Atlases define shape, location and variability of brain regions in common coordinate spaces, and allow interpretation, integration, and comparison of observations and measurements collected from different sources and different brains.
EBRAINS develops open access 3D atlases for the human, rat, and mouse brain. Explore brain regions in an interactive 3D viewer at microscopic detail and discover related multimodal data features from the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph. Programmatic access via a Python client, HTTP API, and command line interface is in development, coming soon to EBRAINS. Integrate your own data of different scale and type to EBRAINS atlases to make them available in a common spatial framework for reuse and quantitative analysis. Use EBRAINS atlas analysis tools to extract, quantify, and compare data in specific brain regions
Open access 3D anatomical reference atlases for the human, rat, and mouse brain.
The first step of integrating neuroscience data is to relate them to a common anatomical location. Image data can be spatially aligned with a 3D reference atlas using linear or non-linear deformations. The transformations needed to bring atlas and images into spatial registration are stored as spatial metadata. EBRAINS provides two tools for registration of 2D images to atlases: QuickNII, tailored for efficient spatial registration of serial 2D (microscopic) image data, and Visualign, tailored for non-linear alignment images to optimize spatial registration after using the QuickNII tool.
By spatially registering images to a 3D atlas, it becomes possible to perform analyses based on regions of interest that are specified by the atlas maps. The QUINT workflow employs a suite of tools to efficiently extract, locate and quantify labelled features in serial 2D images.
