BrainMaps
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BrainMaps is an NIH-funded interactive zoomable high-resolution digital brain atlas and virtual microscope that is based on more than 15 million megapixels (45 terabytes) of scanned images of serial sections of both primate and non-primate brains and that is integrated with a high-speed database for querying and retrieving data about brain structure and function over the internet. Currently featured are complete brain atlas datasets for Macaca mulatta, Chlorocebus aethiops, Felis catus, Mus musculus, and Tyto alba.
BrainMaps is one of the most massive online neuroscience databases and image repositories and features the highest-resolution whole brain atlas ever constructed.[1]
The project is lead by Ted Jones and Shawn Mikula at the University of California, Davis .
