Layer 6 corticocortical neurons are a major route for intra- and interhemispheric feedback Cortex-wide projections onto primary sensory and motor areas display substantial interhemispheric symmetry in their areal input identity and are primarily feedback in nature due to dominant inputs fro...

2/3 The atlas is accessible via the standardized BrainGlobe Atlas API: brainglobe.info/blackcap
This allows the community to directly align their own experimental multimodal data to the common coordinate space of the atlas, see example:

Mapping the magnetoreceptive brain: A 3D digital atlas of the migratory bird Eurasian blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) Birds undisputedly range amongst nature's foremost navigators. To successfully navigate between breeding and wintering quarters, they, in addition to other natural orientation cues, rely on their abil...

Overview of the Eurasian Blackcap brain atlas showing annotated brain regions.

New preprint! We built a 3D brain atlas for the migratory and magnetoreceptive Eurasian blackcap.

The atlas is available in @brainglobe.info, and is hopefully the first of many!
