All BrainGlobe atlases now have Neuroglancer links so that you can explore atlases in the browser without needing to download them first! All links here: brainglobe.info/documentatio... Here you can view our Eurasian Blackcap atlas: neuroglancer-demo.appspot.com#!https://bra...

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...

Nice Claude skill to create basic neuroanatomical visualisations with BrainGlobe & blender: github.com/SamedVossber... The single prompt "Use the allen mouse brain atlas to create an animation to show primary visual cortex and primary motor cortex" gives:

BrainGlobe is going to #FENS2026. We have posters about new atlases, improved infrastructure and new data analysis tools. Come say hello!

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...

Fantastic to see @brainglobe.info recognised. Thank you to everyone who's helped build it, and thank you to the RMS.

We are very pleased to announce Dr Adam Tyson @adamltyson.com of the @sainsburywellcome.bsky.social as winner of the RMS Life Sciences Award. 🙂 🔬 Congratulations Adam! 👏🎖️ Read more about Adam's achievements: www.rms.org.uk/resource/dr-...

Great writeup from our collaborators at UCL Advanced Research Computing on our joint work to make building novel 3D brain atlases faster, more reproducible, and accessible to more labs. 🧠 www.ucl.ac.uk/advanced-res...

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 few months ago we held a joint retreat with engineers from @intlbrainlab.bsky.social & @alleninstitute.org. We summarised the discussions from this retreat into concrete next steps of how we will collaborate in the future to build better software for neuroscience. doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

This is the first of many collaborations to build novel anatomical atlases. We want to expand advanced computational anatomy to new fields. If this sounds interesting, get in touch!

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.

We have three neuroscience research software engineering jobs available at @sainsburywellcome.bsky.social, two joint with the Advanced Microscopy Facility. All positions start ASAP, funded until Sept 2028 in the first instance. Salary £54-64k. More details: neuroinformatics.dev/get-involved

BrainGlobe has a new roadmap! Somewhat overdue, the March 2026 roadmap summarises our recent progress, and our priorities for the coming year. Read more: brainglobe.info/community/ro...

The deadline for all these positions is now April 12th. Please do not be put off by the "Senior" in the job title. We have hired people at different career stages into roles at this grade, what matters is whether you can do the job!

1. Senior Research Software Engineer (Neural and Behavioural Data) - We’re looking for a research software engineer to build pipelines to process weeks of neural and behavioural recordings from freely moving animals.

2. Senior Research Software Engineer (Multiphoton Microscopy) - We’re looking for a research software engineer to build pipelines to process, align and analyse data from benchtop and minaturised two-photon microscopes.

3. Senior Research Software Engineer (Omics) - We’re looking for a research software engineer to build robust and easy to use software tools for merging in-vivo imaging functional data with ex-vivo transcriptomics data.

Come join us to build great open source tools for neuroscience! Happy to answer any questions. If ephys and behaviour isn't your thing, we will have some imaging focussed RSE jobs soon!
