BigBrain Database
Also known as Big Brain
The BigBrain Project repository contains data from BigBrain: A high-resolution, 3D model of a human post-mortem brain, which was obtained in accordance with ethical requirements of the University of Düsseldorf. The brain of a 65-year-old body donor was sectioned, stained for cell bodies, scanned at very high resolution, and then digitally reconstructed in 3D. The full dataset of images, volumes, and surfaces are available for download on the project's ftp site, while a subset of files offering different spatial resolutions can be accessed via LORIS. The web-based 3D interactive atlas viewer is capable of displaying very large brain volumes, including oblique slicing, a whole brain overview,…
