Software tool brings together multiple brain maps in one place
The brain is a complex organ, and no one imaging mode can catch everything that鈥檚 going on inside it. Over the years, multiple 鈥渂rain maps鈥� have emerged, each focusing on different brain processes, from metabolism to cognitive function. While these maps are important, using them in isolation limits the discoveries researchers can make from them.
