  A major challenge for understanding the brain in health and disease is related to combining information about the brain from many different sources. Spatial analysis and comparison of 2D and 3D brain images with the aim to discover new structural and functional features in the data requires mapping the images to a common anatomical space. For rodent models, widely used anatomical reference atlases have until recently been published in a book format that hinders effective comparison across images acquired at different angles and dimensions. The ambition of this study is to advance digital atlasing of the rodent brain towards a new generation of volumetric atlases that facilitate integration of whole-brain image data from multiple modalities. We present the first comprehensive anatomical reference atlas of the Sprague Dawley rat brain based on magnetic resonance imaging. To ensure interoperability with other atlases, we applied the Waxholm Space standard in the rat brain for the first time, and created a mapping against the widely used stereotaxic space. For connecting experimental data to the new reference atlas, we established standard anatomical landmarks for image registration across different levels of structural detail, and created a workflow for section to volume alignment and spatial analysis of brain-wide microscopic image series. Open access to the results of this work has enabled localization of signal in functional and structural image volumes, integration of 2D image series, and development of new atlases of various features of the brain.

  The Human Brain Project is building an ICT-based scientific research infrastructure that will permit researchers to advance our knowledge in the fields of neuroscience through data exploration, analytics and simulation at multiple levels of brain organization. Experimental neuroscience is connected to the infrastructure through systems for organizing and managing heterogeneous research data. These data systems are initially tested by data producing laboratories in the HBP, and will ultimately be opened for the community. HBP data curation services support users in elevating the level of data consistency and in the migration of data to the open domain. The starting point for research projects that will use HBP resources is the HBP Collaboratory, a rich collaborative workspace which is open to the community. The Collaboratory provides guidance and access to resources, including storage for data and a workbench for entering and organizing metadata. As a central element, the Collaboratory provides high-quality reference atlases of the rodent and human brain, together with appropriate tools and workflows that allow users to register data to the atlases for their study, and to perform initial analysis of data. It also links to important external data repositories and services. Here we present an overview of currently available reference atlases, tools and workflows. We exemplify the use of these resources in a range of neuroscience projects, ranging from brain-wide mapping of molecular level information to identification of precise location of electrophysiology recording sites. With coordinates corresponding to reference atlas space, harvested through the workflow, valuable metadata for future search and analysis of data are captured. Furthermore, with data aligned to reference atlases, analysis of the spatial distribution of events, labeled elements, and regions of interest in image material is strongly supported. Following registration to reference atlas, subsequent image processing and analysis steps delivers lists of extracted features corresponding to atlas structures, enabling quantitative regional analysis. We exemplify analytical workflows producing automated quantification and spatial analysis of labeling in series of histological section images from whole rodent brain. These and other atlas related workflows will be made available as HBP software services.

  Anatomical location is a key parameter for interpretation and comparison of neuroscientific data. Location is typically determined by looking up diagrams in anatomical reference atlases, communicated using anatomical terms, and shown in representative images. But the documentation provided varies considerably among scientific publications. Essential information about nomenclature and reference atlases, or criteria used to define boundaries of structures is often missing. This lack of accuracy limits the opportunities for comparing and integrating data from different publications, and could lead to failure in replicating scientific experiments. To clarify and address this challenge, we have investigated current practice for assigning and documenting anatomical location for different categories of experimental neuroscience data reported in > 120 articles investigating the rodent brain. Our findings show that the specificity and accuracy of anatomical documentation in most cases can be considerably improved with relatively simple procedures. We here suggest some general and method-specific recommendations for such improvements, and discuss how these steps may contribute to increase the accuracy of anatomical descriptions and data interpretation. We demonstrate how new three-dimensional rodent brain reference atlases, and associated software tools for spatial registration of brain image data to a common anatomical space, offer new opportunities for efficient integration and comparison of neuroscience data.

  Brain reference atlases are important resources for assigning anatomical location to experimental data, and for planning and interpreting experimental results. Three-dimensional atlases can also serve as templates for spatial co-registration (integration) and comparison of different types of brain images. The Waxholm Space atlas of the rat brain is a public resource based on high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data. It features a coordinate system based on internal landmarks (Waxholm Space) and delineations of so far 79 brain structures (Papp et al., Neuroimage 97:374-386, 2015; Kjonigsen et al., Neuroimage 108:441-449, 2015). The atlas is shared via the Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse (www.nitrc.org), and has since its release been widely adopted by the community. A limitation is, however, that detailed anatomical delineations of several major brain regions are missing. In some instances, delineations are not easily introduced due to low contrast in the underlying MRI / DTI templates, or complex features that are challenging to interpret in MRI / DTI data. To amend this, we have spatially registered images of serial histological sections stained for cyto-, chemo- and myeloarchitecture to the Waxholm Space rat brain template, and used these to aid the interpretation of boundaries of structures. We here outline our approach to defining brain structures in the Waxholm Space rat brain template, and present new delineations of the ascending auditory system, the thalamus, as well as several regions in the cerebral cortex and basal forebrain. The anatomical criteria underlying the delineations will be published, and the next version of the atlas delineations will be shared from www.nitrc.org.

  Reference atlases of the brain are important tools for assigning location to data captured in neuroscience experiments. Spatial alignment of sectional images to reference atlases is, however, challenging to perform for several reasons. Manual approaches applied to large series of sectional images are time consuming and, moreover, histological sections are often cut at angles deviating from the principal anatomical planes presented in conventional reference atlases. Novel 3D reference atlases and accompanying tools provide new opportunities for rapid and accurate spatial registration and integration of data in common atlas space. We here present QuickNII which is new tools for use with the Waxholm Space atlas for the rat brain and the Allen Mouse brain atlas for the mouse brain, and a workflow that allows users to 1) interactively generate customized atlas images (slices of the 3D reference atlas) corresponding to the plane of sectioning of any experimental image series, 2) superimpose atlas images onto experimental images using affine transformations to match key anatomical landmarks, 3) propagate the transformations across a series of images, 4) assign spatial reference atlas coordinates to the experimental images, and 5) allow viewing and analysis of the experimental data integrated in the reference atlas. We exemplify the workflow and use of our methods with a range of experimental data from neuroanatomical and neurophysiological investigations.

Show summary

  Introduction: Automated analysis of series of microscopic images from rodent brains can to advantage be used in many neuroscience research projects. To this end, we present a workflow for the automated quantification and spatial analysis of labeling in large series of section images from rodent brain. As an example, we present the quantification of Alzheimer’s disease plaques across a whole mouse brain series immunohistochemically stained for the APP N-terminus (1D1). Method: As a first step, the whole brain image series was anchored to the Allen mouse brain atlas, using an in-house software tool (QuickNII), to produce accurate anatomical maps adapted to the orientation of the images. Subsequently, the section images were classified by use of the ilastik software tool, based on supervised random forest learning algorithms. The classifier relies on input from manual user annotations of selected training images and the image features intensity, edge and texture. In a separate process, the class corresponding to plaque staining was cleaned, to remove edge artifact and background noise. The classified images were subsequently analyzed on a whole brain and regional level with input from the atlas maps. Thereby, a list of individual plaque features (area, location, etc.), region level features (number of plaques, area of plaques, etc.) and whole brain features were derived, enabling quantitative regional analysis as a semi-automatic pipeline. Results: With limited user interaction, we identified and localized according to brain region, individual amyloid plaques across a whole brain image series (Figure 1).

  With a new generation of three-dimensional digital brain atlases, new solutions for analyzing and integrating brain data are being developed. Digital brain atlases will serve as frameworks for services similar to current online geographical atlases, such as Google Maps and Google Earth, which provide interactive access to huge amounts of high resolution image data, together with additional information and detailed visualizations. The key aim of the INCF program on digital atlasing is to coordinate and improve the impact of atlasing projects, with a focus on the rodent brain. Several of the INCF national nodes contribute to development of infrastructures for brain atlasing in a combined effort with the European Union ICT Future Emerging Technologies Flagship project, the Human Brain Project. The templates used for digital brain atlases can be high resolution 3-D histology data or other volumetric data sets acquired with, e.g., magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The templates can re-sliced and viewed in arbitrary angles without loss of image quality. Additional data modalities required to delineate brain regions can be added by registering high resolution microscopic images from slices through the brain to the templates. With these new atlas frameworks, and a set of tools to interact with the frameworks, research groups can connect their data to atlas space, share the data through online data systems, and search and find other relevant data through the same systems. The main role of the INCF in these efforts is to continue to support the establishment of standards for nomenclatures and spatial coordinate systems (Waxholm Space), and coordinate the development of data systems delivering services to the community. Examples of efforts at the national level include the Scalable Brain Atlas (Dutch node of the INCF) and the Rodent Brain WorkBench (Norwegian node of the INCF). New INCF special interest groups are being established, aiming at reaching out to the broader science community.

  Volumetric brain atlases are typically built on top of template data sets acquired with Magnetic Resonance Imaging. A relatively high level of structural details is provided combined with the advantage of allowing the entire brain to be viewed interactively in any plane. With appropriate tools for interactive viewing, volumetric atlases are useful for planning of experiments and data analysis by registration of other data sets to the atlas. We provide a volumetric atlas of the rat brain based on ex vivo MRI anatomical (T2*) images with 39 μm isotropic voxels and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) volumes with 78 μm isotropic voxels acquired from an 80 day old male Sprague-Dawley rat. The atlas covers 83 anatomical structures (areas, nuclei, regions, and fiber tracts) across the brain. The structures were delineated using ITK-SNAP software based on multiple types of image contrasts and anatomical reference information. White matter structures were readily distinguished from grey matter, and some structural differences could also be observed within gray matter. Delineations were aided by information from classical 2D atlases and collections of histological images from brains of comparable animals, and delineation criteria were defined for all structures. Cyto- and chemoarchitectonic features from an online 2D histological atlas (Kjonigsen et al., Front Neuroinform. 2011) were used for delineation of 16 structures in the hippocampal region. The atlas and the underlying MRI and DTI image volumes are to be made open access through the INCF Software Center. Spatial reference is provided by Waxholm Space, a standard atlas space recently defined by the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF). Waxholm Space connects the atlas to a growing infrastructure of interoperable resources and services for multi-level data integration and analysis across reference spaces.

  The rat hippocampus is a complex brain region frequently employed to study learning and memory processes. The complexity of this region makes it difficult to delineate the constituting subdivisions anatomically. Since published stereotaxic rat brain atlases typically lack the underlying histological criteria used to identify boundaries, the task of delineation is further challenged. Similarly, boundary definitions reported in textbooks are often poorly illustrated and difficult to relate to experimental data. Hence, there is a need for dedicated atlas resources that provide a systematic overview of the morphological features and corresponding authoritative criteria employed for anatomical parcellation of the hippocampal region. To this end we have developed an atlas system in which high-resolution images of histological sections are directly linked to expert-defined criteria for subdividing cell layers of the hippocampus proper, fasciola and associated parahippocampal cortex. We have used cytoarchitectonical features observed in sections stained for NeuN, parvalbumin, or calbindin. The atlas system incorporates an interactive image viewer that gives access to a repository of high resolution digitized images of coronal and sagittal sections that are organized according to bregma-related stereotaxic coordinates. Criteria for defining the boundaries are provided in a comprehensive digital "encyclopedia" in which regions and subdivisions are presented in a textbook format together with links to corresponding segmentations in the image repository. The system has two possible entry points. Users interested in a certain hippocampal region or subregion may look this up via a structure index for the "encyclopedia", which in turn is linked to corresponding locations in the image repository. Alternatively, the users can go directly to the image viewer and choose a region on basis of stereotaxic coordinates. Then, by clicking on sites of interest in the image, the user can obtain a full description of the selected region. Thus, we have developed a novel atlas resource in which segmented histological images are bidirectionally linked to authoritative information describing how the boundaries of the rat hippocampal cell layers are defined. The hippocampus atlas application will be freely shared via The Rodent WorkBench (http://www.rbwb.org) and is expected to be useful for both students and researchers interested in the rat hippocampus.

• Zakiewicz, Izabela Maria; Dongen, Yvette C Van; Kjøde, Jan Olav; Leergaard, Trygve Brauns & Bjaalie, Jan G. (2008). Digital atlas system for exploring axonal connections throughout the rat brain. Show summary

  Knowledge about the anatomical organization of neural networks in the brain is important for understanding normal function and pathological dysfunction of brain systems. In this context, data of particular relevance include distribution and density of neurons of origin, axonal trajectories, and terminal fields of axons. Despite an overwhelming number of research reports, organizational principles and architectures of connections in the brain are still far from fully elucidated. Such information is difficult to extract from legacy data, partly because findings are typically conveyed in selected figures that are difficult to compare across studies. Building on brain atlasing systems developed in our laboratory our ambition is to create a detailed digital atlas of axonal connections throughout the rat brain, a frequently used model of the mammalian brain. We here present a pilot study demonstrating how a digital atlas system containing comprehensive collections of high-resolution histological images may be used to explore the connections of individual body representations in the primary somatosensory cortex (SI) with other parts of the brain. Axonal tracing experiments were conducted by injecting neural tracers into stereotaxically defined SI-body representations in adult male rats. Series of coronal sections sampled from the entire brain were histologically processed to visualize tracer labelling and general cytoarchitecture. High-resolution digital section images were assembled in a database application together with experimental metadata and procedures. Spatial reference was obtained by co-registering the images to reference atlas diagrams on basis of anatomical landmarks, and by positioning and scaling a coordinate grid. A web-based, interactive viewer tool allowed efficient comparison of multiple experimental images and atlas diagrams, thus facilitating the evaluation of the presence, strength, and distribution of labelling throughout the brain. A more detailed local analysis of corticothalamic and corticostriatal projections revealed topographical distribution patterns in agreement with legacy data. We conclude that our atlas-based approach facilitates both global and local analyses of axonal distribution patterns. The system presented serves as a precursor for a future comprehensive histological image database for axonal connections in the rat brain. Future developments will include more experimental data as well as improved and integrated software for further data analyses.
