Usage

Sample space

Open napari and drag your brainreg output directory (the one with the log file) onto the napari window.

Various images should then open, including:

• Registered image - the image used for registration, downsampled to atlas resolution

• atlas_name - e.g. allen_mouse_25um the atlas labels, warped to your sample brain

• Boundaries - the boundaries of the atlas regions

If you downsampled additional channels, these will also be loaded.

Some of these images will not be visible by default. Click the little eye icon to toggle visibility.

N.B. If you use a high resolution atlas (such as allen_mouse_10um), then the files can take a little while to load.

Atlas space

napari-brainreg also comes with an additional plugin, for visualising your data in atlas space.

This is typically only used in other software, but you can enable it yourself:

• Open napari

• Navigate to Plugins -> Plugin Call Order

• In the Plugin Sorter window, select napari_get_reader from the select hook... dropdown box

• Drag brainreg_read_dir_standard_space (the atlas space viewer plugin) above brainreg_read_dir (the normal plugin) to ensure that the atlas space plugin is used preferentially.
