Digital Brain Atlasing
This program was launched following the recommendations of the 1st INCF Workshop on Mouse and Rat Brain Digital Atlasing Systems.
Digital atlases have been identified as potential neuroinformatics frameworks, as they act as a two-dimensional or three-dimensional map that one may use to traverse the brain and associated data of different granularity, modalities, and sources. Furthermore, web-accessible brain atlases and spatial indexes have the potential to evolve into powerful tools enabling a dynamic, multidimensional mode of scientific interaction.
The INCF focuses on actions coordinating and improving the impact of atlasing projects. Several of the recommendations from the workshop report are being considered for implementation.
