Windows on the brain: the emerging role of atlases and databases in neuroscience

David C Van Essen. Curr Opin Neurobiol. 2002 Oct.

Abstract

Brain atlases and associated databases have great potential as gateways for navigating, accessing, and visualizing a wide range of neuroscientific data. Recent progress towards realizing this potential includes the establishment of probabilistic atlases, surface-based atlases and associated databases, combined with improvements in visualization capabilities and internet access.
