BrainGlobe: accessible software for neuroanatomy of emerging model organisms

Neuroanatomy is key to understanding the brain. However, current tools are often specialised for a single model species or image modality. BrainGlobe overcomes these limitations by implementing flexible and easy-to-use visualisation and analysis tools that can be installed and used on any hardware, from laptops to supercomputers. The BrainGlobe Atlas API1 plays a central role in this by providing a generalised framework for representing multiple anatomical atlases within and across species. Neuroscience increasingly recognises the need to study brain function in more diverse species. BrainGlobe is therefore a natural fit to enable the necessary data analysis. However, this requires novel atlases.
