Virtual Rat Brain Project
The RatBrain project has developed tools for integrating 3D reconstructions of neurons and populations in the rat brain. The initial data comes from systems including Neurolucida and Accustage, and all data are "warped" to a common coordinate system, or reference brain.

The E-brain Builder
|
|||||
|
The E-brain Builder Tool will convert Neurolucida and MDPlot/Accustage data files to an XML based format, MorphML. The tool visualizes the neuroanatomical data with both perspective and orthogonal viewing systems. It permits real-time translation, moving, scaling, rotation and zooming. This can be used to generate enhanced views of 3D data, including annotations. |

MorphML Viewer
|
|||||
|
The MorphML Viewer Tool allows the user to browse the contents of the Neuro-anatomical database at Rutgers University. |
||||
|
The Iso-density Surface Mapper Tool
|
|||||
|
The Iso-density Surface Mapper Tool visually represent the cell population distributions. If a voxel, a 3D space contain more than a certain threshold of cell bodies the voxel is rendered. | ||||
|
The Overlapping Analysis Tool
|
|||||
|
The Overlapping Analysis Tool compares the density and overlap between two or more cell populations. | ||||
|
The Java3D Handler
|
|||||
|
The Java3D Handler library is a collection of widgets used for rendering 3D data. |
||||
|
MorphML Handler
|
|||||
|
The MorphML Handler library can read and write MorphML files to and from the file system. |
