High Resolution Mouse Brain AtlasMouse brain atlas
The general goals of the High Resolution Brain Atlas project are 1) to construct atlases of the brain of the mouse, an animal that is becoming increasingly important for neuroscience, particularly because of its position as the mammal of choice in genetic research, and 2) to use the brain of this small, relatively inexpensive and readily available animal as the test case on which to work out issues of capture and integration of multidisciplinary data, of 3D reconstruction from serial slices, and of data dissemination, in the expectation that the lessons learned will become applicable directly to the much larger normal and diseased human brain.
