5 Conclusion
We have described a neuroanatomical visualization tool to navigate through brain structures while monitoring related data generated as a result of experiments or from published literature. This tool consists of many components including a platform-independent graphical user interface, an object-relational database system, a knowledge base system to reason about published literature, and a number of spatial components to reason about the topological structures of the brain and its relevant data. Currently, we are working on different techniques to represent, query, and manage three-dimensional structures of the brain (i.e., brain volumes) through many levels of 2-dimensional structures.
