Relevance of project 3 to the whole program

This project is closely linked to all other projects of this program. It takes data generated in Projects 1 (MBL) and 2 (iScope) and returns tools and data for navigating through a sea of images and movies. It provides the iScope with standard coordinates to guide acquisition of high-resolution micrographs, as well as an indexing system for the resulting high-resolution image stacks. In turn, NeuroCartographer will rely on the iScope to test atlas reconstruction accuracy. NeuroCartographer will feed the NTB with the essential quantitative trait measurements required to perform complex trait analysis. NeuroCartographer will also provides the basis, in the form of standard anatomical divisions, for interconnecting to other neuroanatomical databases.
