You can see the 3d atlas videos at the project website online - https://anchor.humanbrain.in/

+1 for indian public funded science being publicly available and feeling the need to justify their existence by explaining what they do to the public.

The article sometimes makes it sound like this is a diagnostic tool but am I wrong in thinking it's a reference constructed from a small number of individuals?

my understanding is that they took 3 specimens, aged 25 gestational weeks, 9 and 54 years old.. did “800 serial histological sections” and manually tagged them. But you can check out the information yourself here: https://anchor.humanbrain.in/

> The researchers have made the atlas freely available online fuck yes. finally someone not gatekeeping lifesaving technologies so they can make shit ton of money out of it.

I believe this is how most publicly funded research and some private research institutes work. This research was conducted by a public Indian university (IIT Madras). Which, by the way is literally more selective than IVY league universities
