The Blue Brain Cell Atlas is a comprehensive online resource that describes the number, types, and positions of cells in all areas of the mouse brain.
Here, we present an automated comparison between generated cell densities of the selected brain regions, and their literature counterparts. If you whish to see a reference included, please feel free to contribute.

Cell generation workflow

Methodology

Our workflow uses imaging data from the Allen Institute for Brain Science (AIBS) to generate cell positions and assign their type, more specifically from the mouse atlas using the API for data access. Our workflow also uses global constraint numbers from literature, as well as a large array of additional literature values to validate the model.

The entire procedure is described in detail in the following papers: Erö et al. 2018, Rodarie et al. 2018, Roussel et al. 2021.
