The next releases of BrainRAT toolbox will contain new processes allowing to:
- Speed up of registration processes (optimization, parallelization);
- 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;
- Bring in vivo data such as MR images into registration with 3D reconstructed post mortem volumes;
- Use a MRI-based 3D digital atlas as a template for fully-automated brain structure segmentation of in vivo and post mortem data;
- Configure dedicated databases by defining a reliable organization description (ontology).
