  1. This list of available 3D image set browsers currently used to manipulate mouse brain atlas data sets, provides links both to the developers of the software tool, as well as to a representative neuroimaging project for which that browser is currently being employed. This is a subset of the available 3D anatomical browsers used in all species, a list of which can be obtained from the Internet Analysis Tools Registry maintained Dr. David Kennedy at the MGH, Boston MA [30]. By our count, there are currently 38 3D Volume data set viewers available for use.
