Researchers at IIT Madras have created Anchor, a cellular-resolution 3D atlas of the human brainstem using more than 500 tissue sections from fetal, childhood, and adult brains. The atlas links MRI-scale imaging with microscopic anatomy and may help improve understanding of disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and stroke.
