Standards and Guidelines for Digital Brain Atlasing
The INCF has initiated a process for the establishment of standards and guidelines in the field of Digital Brain Atlasing.
Following recommendations formulated at INCF workshops, the INCF is bringing together leading scientists to investigate the state of the art of rodent brain digital atlasing and formulate standards, guidelines, and policy recommendations.
