DeMBA, A 4D atlas representing mouse brain development from adolescence to adulthood
- 15 September 2025
Carey & Kleven et al., 2025 recently published an atlas of postnatal mouse brain development called DeMBA (Developmental Mouse Brain Atlas). This atlas covers the mouse brain in development, from day 4 after birth through to adulthood at day 56 (three months). DeMBA provides the Allen Mouse Brain CCF v3 brain region segmentations. One of the key features of DeMBA is that a researchers can choose day-specific templates corresponding to the developmental age they are studying. Another key feature is that DeMBA is integrated into the BrainGlobe CCF Translator, which allows data to be transformed to any age of the atlas (a total of 53 ages).
An overview of recently added mouse atlases
- 20 February 2025
Eagle-eyed BrainGlobe enthusiasts will have spotted several new atlases appearing in the BrainGlobe Atlas API in recent weeks. In 2025, we’ve made three new mouse brain atlases newly available through BrainGlobe: The Kim developmental mouse brain atlas (version 1), the Gubra multimodal mouse brain atlas and the Australian mouse brain atlas. Mice are widely used in neuroscience, so it’s no surprise there are many mouse brain atlases. In this blogpost, we describe the newly added atlases in more detail, and suggest potential use cases. This blog covers the new murine atlases only - we have also added the first non-human primate brain atlas to BrainGlobe (and brain atlases for a cat and a cuttlefish are underway)!
