Screenshot of the NeuARt system showing two levels of comparison of inputs and outputs of the lateral septal nucleus. Levels 14 and 15 show how the projections of a set of inputs (both identified afferents and endogenous molecules) can be inferred. In these two panels, note that PHAL injection sites (in LSr.vl.d (red) and LSr.m.v (black), respectively) overlap with axons immunostained for DBH (blue) and green afferent fibers from the PHAL injection in the AHN Level 24. Level 26 shows that the projections from some DBH- and AHN-recipient parts of the LS converge with each other as well as with the projections from the AHN in at least one level of the hypothalamus. Thus it is possible to use the NeuARt system to compare multiple data-sets arising from different classes of experiment, to illustrate novel results and generate testable hypotheses about the brain's circuitry.
