Free online high-res brain atlas

Saturday, November 5th, 2005

Neurodudes reader John sent us this nice link to a high-resolution online atlas with human, macaque, and mouse brains.

I haven’t explored the site very much, but the quality seems very impressive and you really can’t beat the price. It also looks like the authors are planning to expand the atlas soon and have already started building desktop tools for easy 2D and 3D navigation. Thanks, John!

Neuroscience family tree

Tuesday, November 1st, 2005

Some folks have created NeuroTree to document the advisor-advisee relationships (i.e., “so-and-so was a grad student of that guy, and that guy postdoc’d with someone else”) of neuroscience. With this information, one can draw “family trees” like this.

Here is the FAQ.

Importantly, this is a collaborative effort, so add your name if it’s not there already.
