If you use the BrainGlobe Atlas API directly (i.e. not through brainreg, brainrender etc), please test out the new version of the API. V3 should be backwards compatible, but we want to catch any bugs before full release.

BrainGlobe@brainglobe.info · 2w ago

Do you use the BrainGlobe Atlas API directly in your work? Have you built a tool on top of BrainGlobe? We will soon release V3 of the API, which changes how brain atlas data is stored and accessed. A release candidate is available for testing, please see our blog: brainglobe.info/blog/atlas-a...

New preprint! Work led by Doug Hardman on the Barkley Marathons. This was a lot of fun, reading lots of rich qualitative data from interviews and reports. Navigating the Barkley Marathons #psychscisky #neuroskyence #cognition 🧪

v0.17.0 of movement released! 🧠🧪 This version includes new path analysis functions along with a number of bug fixes. Importantly there are some small breaking changes, so please read the release notes to see how your code may be affected. More details: github.com/neuroinforma...

Together with @roozbehkiani.bsky.social and @athenaakrami.bsky.social, we published a Nature correspondence highlighting our open letter’s core message: the academic community must speak out against attacks on academic institutions. doi.org/10.1038/d415... Open access version: rdcu.be/fju9B

As part of this effort, we've just released three new atlases from v2 of the Allen mouse CCF - the brain atlas, fiber tract atlas and developmental brain atlas. Most pipelines have moved to CCFv3, but adding v2 allows atlas comparison and reproducing old analyses. brainglobe.info/blog/ccfv2-a...

We've started an effort to bring every 3D (non-human) anatomical atlas that exists into BrainGlobe. Get in touch if there's an atlas we've missed, or you think there's a specific atlas we should prioritise. Read more in our blog: brainglobe.info/blog/the-sys...

New method for identifying the fine transcriptomic types of thousands of neurons recorded in vivo!

Introducing driftplots—a tool for creating customisable, interactive drift maps from Kilosort or @spikeinterface.bsky.social output. Read more: driftplots.neuroinformatics.dev

driftplots is particularly useful for checking probe alignment across sessions (e.g. before unit matching) as well as assessing within-session drift.

BrainGlobe Template Builder

Atlas building is complex and time-consuming. To help the BrainGlobe team meet growing demand, we streamlined the first stage: generating a high-quality, standardised 3D reference template.

A migratory bird brain, the Eurasian blackcap, has been mapped for the first time using high-resolution light microscopy. The open-source software tools developed form a foundation for new brain atlases to be built for any species, providing a valuable resource.
