NIF Webinar – November 23, 2010 / Topic: Integrating Digital Atlases of Rodent Brain: the INCF Waxholm Space and Atlas Service

The Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) hosts Webinar series on topics focused on collaborating with NIF, getting involved in building the NIF vocabulary, using NIF portal resources, as well as other appropriate NIF topics.

Our next NIF Webinar is scheduled for next week, November 23rd, 2010. Please join Mike Hawrylycz from the Allen Institute for Brain Science and Ilya Zaslavsky from the San Diego Supercomputer Center, UCSD, both experts on digital atlasing, as they present the brain atlas interoperability effort led by the International Neuroinformatics Coordination Facility (INCF). The INCF Digital Brain Atlasing Program coordinates development and integration of atlasing projects across INCF member countries. Among its major accomplishments are development of Waxholm Space (WHS), a coordinate-based reference space for registration of neuroanatomical data in the mouse brain, and atlas services and Waxholm Markup Language, which provide a standard way of exchanging and transforming spatial information across several atlases and coordinate systems, including WHS, Allen Brain Atlas, Paxinos Atlas, and Edinburgh Mouse Atlas.
