Creating Virtual Insect Brains with Amira
 


Abstract: By combining techniques of preparation, histology, confocal microscopy, data visualization and data processing, we have created and recently published a standard brain model for drosophila and honey bee brains.
This report describes the algorithms and implementation of the corresponding software modules. At the same time it serves as a users guide for scientist who want to reproduce the results for differerent species or mutants.
