The Neuroterrain 3D Mouse Brain Atlas
نویسندگان
چکیده
A significant objective of neuroinformatics is the construction of tools to readily access, search, and analyze anatomical imagery. This goal can be subdivided into development of the necessary databases and of the computer vision tools for image analysis. When considering mesoscale images, the latter tools can be further divided into registration algorithms and anatomical models. The models are atlases that contain both bitmap images and templates of anatomical boundaries. We report here on construction of such a model for the C57BL/6J mouse. The intended purpose of this atlas is to aid in automated delineation of the Mouse Brain Library, a database of brain histological images of importance to neurogenetic research.

3-D Mouse Brain Model Reconstruction from a Sequence of 2-D Slices in Application to Allen Brain Atlas
The paper describes a method of fully automatic 3D-reconstruction of a mouse brain from a sequence of histological coronal 2D slices. The model is constructed via non-linear transformations between the neighboring slices and further morphing. We also use rigid-body transforms in the preprocessing stage to align the slices. Afterwards, the obtained 3D-model is used to generate virtual 2D-images ...
متن کاملValidation of MRI-based 3D digital atlas registration with histological and autoradiographic volumes: An anatomofunctional transgenic mouse brain imaging study
Murine models are commonly used in neuroscience to improve our knowledge of disease processes and to test drug effects. To accurately study neuroanatomy and brain function in small animals, histological staining and ex vivo autoradiography remain the gold standards to date. These analyses are classically performed by manually tracing regions of interest, which is time-consuming. For this reason...
متن کاملAn Interactive Method of Anatomical Segmentation and Gene Expression Estimation for an Experimental Mouse Brain Slice
We consider the problem of statistical analysis of gene expression in a mouse brain during cognitive processes. In particular we focus on the problems of anatomical segmentation of a histological brain slice and estimation of slice’s gene expression level. The first problem is solved by interactive registration of an experimental brain slice into 3D brain model constructed using Allen Brain Atl...
متن کاملAtlas-guided Histology Reconstruction of Mouse Brain
Histology acquisition often introduces tissue distortions that prevent a smooth 3D reconstruction from being built. In this paper, we propose a method of atlas-guided optimization to the piecewise registration scheme we developed previously. It takes the information of several consecutive slices in a neighbourhood into account. In order to achieve an accurate anatomic presentation, we run the m...
متن کاملA High-Resolution Anatomical Framework of the Neonatal Mouse Brain for Managing Gene Expression Data
This study aims to provide a high-resolution atlas and use it as an anatomical framework to localize the gene expression data for mouse brain on postnatal day 0 (P0). A color Nissl-stained volume with a resolution of 13.3 x 50 x 13.3 mu(3) was constructed and co-registered to a standard anatomical space defined by an averaged geometry of C57BL/6J P0 mouse brains. A 145 anatomical structures wer...
