neuroanatomical atlas

A neuroanatomical atlas is a detailed, visual guide of the brain's structures, similar to a map. It shows the locations, shapes, and relationships of different brain parts, helping scientists and doctors understand how the brain is organized. These atlases can be based on detailed images from techniques like MRI or microscopy. They are essential tools for studying brain function, diagnosing neurological conditions, and guiding surgeries. Just like a geographic atlas helps navigate a city, a neuroanatomical atlas helps navigate the complex landscape of the human brain.
