The Human Brain Atlas
Non-Federal Website: "In this atlas you can view MRI sections through a living human brain as well as corresponding sections stained for cell bodies or for nerve fibers. The stained sections are from a different brain than the one which was scanned for the MRI images. Furthermore, for the stained sections, the brain was removed from the skull, dehydrated, embedded in celloidin, cut with a sliding microtome, passed through several staining and differentiating solutions, and mounted on glass slides. Each step of these procedures changed the shaped of the brain and of the sections. Therefore the stained sections will be quite a different size and shape than those of the MRI sections. Nevertheless, comparing MRI images with stained sections from approximately the same level can greatly increase understanding of the internal architecture of these brains." (From the homepage)

Anatomy Lens
Non-Federal Website: "Anatomy Lens is a search engine that helps scientists hone in on PubMed articles most relevant to their research. Users enter anatomy terms, MeSH terms, and biological processes as search keywords. . . . Anatomy Lens uses ontologies as knowledge bases to improve the recall of a search. Through inferencing, it is able to determine that if a user is interested in the brain, the user is also interested in the hippocampus and not the spine. To improve precision, Anatomy Lens searches over annotations on articles added by experts instead of keywords. In the above example query, an article that centrally talks about the spine but also happens to mention the keyword "brain" will be returned by a standard text search but not by Anatomy Lens. In the spirit of the semantic web, we have integrated multiple data sets and ontologies: Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA), Gene Ontology (GO), Gene Ontology Annotations (GOA), MeSH, and PubMed. The power of Anatomy Lens's search and inferencing comes from this integration." (From the homepage)
