Abstract:
Digital brain atlses, developed at both the micro- and macroscopic levels, have the capacity to transform the way in which neuroscientific information is handled. As such, we applaud the recent article by Roland and Zillew that discusses this topic. Thier overview of the current methods that are available to develop brain atlases in a digital format describes an avenue, currently being followed by a number of groups, to develop both a framework and a form of communication among neuroscientists that has not been available previously. As the volume of neuroscientific information increases at progressively higher rates, digital brain atlases will become an ever-apparent necessity rather than convenience or luxury.
