Neuroscience research in the post-genomic era requires rapid screening and analysis of large tissue expanse. It demands close integration of information derived from histological procedures and genomic data. This is impeded by the absence of technology to automatically extract histological information and to link it to genomic data. We are developing the necessary tools. At the core of these are atlases, visualization tools and registration algorithms. This paper describes a cooperative effort in research and development of these technologies.
