The BigBrain Project repository contains data from BigBrain: A high-resolution, 3D model of a human post-mortem brain, which was obtained in accordance with ethical requirements of the University of Düsseldorf. The brain of a 65-year-old body donor was sectioned, stained for cell bodies, scanned at very high resolution, and then digitally reconstructed in 3D. The full dataset of images, volumes, and surfaces are available for download on the project's ftp site, while a subset of files offering different spatial resolutions can be accessed via LORIS. The web-based 3D interactive atlas viewer is capable of displaying very large brain volumes, including oblique slicing, a whole brain overview, surface meshes, and maps. It enables navigating the BigBrain in 3D, exploring the growing set of highly detailed maps for cortical layers and cytoarchitectonic areas, and finding related neuroscience data.
Reference anatomies of the brain and corresponding atlases play a central role in experimental neuroimaging workflows and are the foundation for reporting standardized results. The choice of such references —i.e., templates— and atlases is one relevant source of methodological variability across studies, which has recently been brought to attention as an important challenge to reproducibility in neuroscience. TemplateFlow is a publicly available framework for human and nonhuman brain models. The framework combines an open database with software for access, management, and vetting, allowing scientists to distribute their resources under FAIR —findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable— principles. TemplateFlow supports a multifaceted insight into brains across species, and enables multiverse analyses testing whether results generalize across standard references, scales, and in the long term, species, thereby contributing to increasing the reliability of neuroimaging results.
