The Mouse Brain In Its Colours Screensaver
The The Mouse Brain In Its Colours screensaver shows structures from the Allen Reference Atlas of the mouse brain, key-less. Every region carries an assigned colour used consistently across every figure, slice and dataset the institute publishes, so the hex triplet is the region's identity rather than decoration, and each row is drawn in its own. Depth is the nesting level: depth 1 is a major division, depth 9 a specific cortical layer. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
