An atlas for the Blind Mexican Cavefish has been added to BrainGlobe
- 21 June 2024
Kozol et al, 2023 recently published a brain atlas of the blind Mexican cavefish Astyanax mexicanus. This species is interesting from an evolutionary point of view, due to divergent phenotypes (surface- and cave-dwelling) that can be hybridised in the lab. Surface-dwelling populations have retained their eyesight, while cave-dwellers have not. The cavefish brain atlas allows us to understand how brains of a single species have changed anatomically and functionally as part of their adaptations to the environment.

bg-atlasapi and bg-atlasgen have merged under a new name
- 14 February 2024
bg-atlasapi and bg-atlasgen have merged into a single package, now called brainglobe-atlasapi.
brainglobe-atlasapi now provides the same API that bg-atlasapi provided, in exactly the same way - all that needs to happen is a name change in your scripts.
imio will be merging into brainglobe-utils
- 08 February 2024
The imio package will be absorbed into brainglobe-utils as a submodule, so will no longer be receiving standalone updates.
This decision was made because:
bg-space has been renamed
- 24 January 2024
The “bg” prefix that a number of BrainGlobe tools carry is not very distinctive nor informative, so we are rolling out minor name changes to a lot of our packages that contain this prefix. We are also taking this opportunity to bring these tools into line with our developer guidelines for automatic deployment, tooling, and testing.
