We've started an effort to bring every 3D (non-human) anatomical atlas that exists into BrainGlobe.
Get in touch if there's an atlas we've missed, or you think there's a specific atlas we should prioritise.

Atlas building is complex and time-consuming. To help the BrainGlobe team meet growing demand, we streamlined the first stage: generating a high-quality, standardised 3D reference template.
UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).
