After seven (7!) years of data collection and methods development, involving >20 researchers at 10 different institutions, we are super excited to release NextBrain, a next-gen probabilistic atlas of the human brain with 333 regions: https://lnkd.in/e3abkgUB NextBrain is built from 10,000 histological sections from 5 donated brains, that we reconstructed in 3D and thoroughly labeled. You can also interactively explore the data here: https://lnkd.in/eMp58HQQ

The data from the five specimens were combined into a probabilistic atlas of the human brain describing 333 regions, which can be used as a common coordinate frame for automated segmentation of those regions in scans of living people.
