AIDAhisto
Atlas-based imaging data analysis tool for quantitative mouse brain histologySoftware to automatically detect cells in histological mouse brain and spinal cord sections. Tested for different immunostainings (e.g., GFAP, Iba1, and MAP2) and histological stainings (e.g., Nissl). The Allen Mouse Brain/Spinal Cord Atlas is used to register the microscopy files. Cell counting results are reported as cells per brain region.
Information about Version 1.2 (current) / Version 1.1 / Version 1.0
EXAMPLES
FEATURES
Please note that we stopped supporting Python-based tools. All corresponding tools are available for Matlab.Includes a custom version of the Allen Mouse Brain/Spinal Cord Atlas with a list of annotations
Instruction on how to register the atlas with microscopy files using ImageJ
Automated cell counting
Cell counting works for immunostainings and histological stainings; the cell nuclei position (e.g. based on a DAPI staining) can be used to improve the cell counting (only cells with a cell nuclei will be counted)
GET STARTED
Download the modified atlas files and the test images (including representative results) here. For details on installation and use, see the step-by-step guide in the Manual v1.2.
