Identifying anatomical structures

Use the Atlas ontology to automatically identify structures once you've registered a section. The ontology provides a comprehensive list of anatomical structures.

To view the ontology, toggle to the Atlas Ontology panel in the Section Registration window.

There are two ways to delineate and identify a region:

• Click the Select region button.
• Find the desired structure in the ontology list and check the corresponding checkbox.

Tips

• To see substructures, click the + button.
• To find a structure in the list, use the Search bar.
• For help in identifying search terms, hover your mouse over the reference or the experimental section; you will see the names of the corresponding anatomical areas.
