Ongoing work

The next releases of BrainRAT toolbox will contain new processes allowing to:

  1. Speed up of registration processes (optimization, parallelization);
  2. Use blockface images (photographs of the brain face taken during the sectioning process) as a consistent 3D geometric reference for reconstruction of post mortem volumes;
  3. Bring in vivo data such as MR images into registration with 3D reconstructed post mortem volumes;
  4. Use a MRI-based 3D digital atlas as a template for fully-automated brain structure segmentation of in vivo and post mortem data;
  5. Configure dedicated databases by defining a reliable organization description (ontology).
