The scan, which uses MRI to obtain images of the brain, can identify autism based on the physical makeup of grey matter in the brain. Results of an initial study involving the scan were published in the Journal of Neuroscience today. From the article: The team used an MRI scanner to take pictures of the brain’s grey matter. A separate imaging technique was then used to reconstruct these scans into 3D images that could be assessed for structure, shape and thickness — all intricate measurements that reveal Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) at its root. The research studied 20 healthy adults, 20 adults with ASD, and 19 adults with A...

Brain surgeons are starting to use 3-D technology for brain surgery. The technology should help surgeons operate more easily on brain tumors. The video from CBS talks about a patient who had a brain tumor that was partially blocking his vision.

In line with this, one of the developers at BrainMaps.org, Issac Trotts, has released a veritable Google Earth for the Brain, called StackVis. In a nutshell, StackVis is a 3D viewer of neuroanatomical sections. But it is revolutionary in the sense that it permits rapid interactive viewing of arbitrarily large images. Conventional microscopy, electron microscopy, and imaging techniques such as MRI and PET commonly generate large stacks of images of the sectioned brain. In other domains, such as neurophysiology, variables such as space or time are also varied along a stack a...

And specifically, I wanted to see the distribution of AChE in 3D. This data is available online (for the mouse brain) at both the Allen Brain Atlas and BrainMaps.org, so I went to both sites to see the AChE distribution in 3D. Here I was veritably shocked by the comparison. First, let's look at the Allen Brain Atlas 3D file for AChE, which is the big yellow amorphous blob shown on the rightThen I went to BrainMaps.org and obtained the 3D file for the AChE distribution in the mouse brain, and this is what it looks like in the figure to the right. Note that in both of these figures, the viewpoint is oblique lateral, with anterior pointing to th...

Welcome to StackVis, a 3D viewer of neuroanatomical sections.Figure Caption. The development of additional desktop application tools for interacting with brainmaps.org image and database data includes the one shown here, StackVis, which is a 3D viewer of neuroanatomical virtual slide image stacks that is integrated with high resolution viewing of and interaction with individual sections comprising the image stack.

(B) same image stack as in (A) but from a different perspective, with increased inter-section spacing, and with areal and nuclear labels. (C) coronal image stack of nissls of the mouse brain.
