Web-based research collaboration

Use Neuroinfo for scientific collaboration and cataloging of microscopic slide specimens. Remote workgroups can be set up allowing multiple researchers to simultaneously view slide material, add annotations to a slide, and write comments to one another. Using the bioinformatics database engine incorporated into Neuroinfo, slide material can be quantified, analyzed and compared to other sets of data as a means to support or negate hypotheses about the experimental results contained in the slides.

Neuroinfo can be used to create anatomical atlases that show the actual tissue at a cellular level, and annotate regions that correspond to a controlled nomenclature. Atlases of many more species and variations will soon be available to the scientific community. These atlases can incorporate changes through the developmental stages of a species and side-by-side views of different developmental stages can easily be created.
