A Framework for the Visualization of Brain Structures

Nowadays, biologists investigate different causes for deafness. One reason is a damage in a particular region of the auditory brain stem. These differences were discovered by investigating brain slices of different laboratory mice. However, these slices are only a two dimensional representation of the whole brain part. The arising question was how these differences of structure affect the three dimensional represen- tation of this region. Therefore, an interdisciplinary framework was developed, which allows even unknown users to investigate and compare these regions.
