Relevance of project 3 to the whole program
This
project is closely linked to all other projects of this program. It takes
data generated in Projects 1 (MBL) and 2 (iScope) and returns tools and
data for navigating through a sea of images and movies. It provides the
iScope with standard coordinates to guide acquisition of high-resolution
micrographs, as well as an indexing system for the resulting
high-resolution image stacks. In turn, NeuroCartographer will rely on the
iScope to test atlas reconstruction accuracy. NeuroCartographer will feed
the NTB with the essential quantitative trait measurements required to
perform complex trait analysis. NeuroCartographer will also provides the
basis, in the form of standard anatomical divisions, for interconnecting
to other neuroanatomical databases.
