What it does
The Allen Institute's brain resources include anatomical reference atlases, cell classifications, connectivity and related datasets.
Choose an atlas for anatomical context or a dataset for a specific research question. The portal separates those activities, helping you find a reference space before interpreting more specialized observations.
Choose the species and developmental stage before comparing atlas coordinates. The portal distinguishes adult human, adult mouse and developing atlases, rather than one interchangeable reference space.
