…digital atlas will utilize machine learning to automate anatomical annotation of brainstem nuclei. The atlas also will allow accurate 3D alignment of labeled neurons, while further digitization of serially sectioned brain data sets will afford 3D reconstruction and alignment of small brainstem subregions. Overall, it will enable the collation of…
