AC Flatmap Viewer

Flatmap Viewer

The flatmap viewer consists of a zoomable map that includes various anatomical features associated with a particular species (human male, by default). From the flatmap viewer, you can:

1. Change the species of interest (Human Female, Human Male, Rat, Mouse, Pig, and Cat; note that all flatmaps are currently showing beta connectivity features);
2. Search for a particular anatomical feature;
3. Either:
   • Split / rearrange the different views;
   • Open help mode to see tooltips with information about each feature on the map;
   • Toggle the fullscreen mode; and
   • Get a permalink for the current view(s).
4. Show information of the Map;
5. Use the minimap to navigate the (zoomed-in) flatmap;
6. Interact with the flatmap itself;
7. Show / hide the sidebar (where you can search for specific datasets);
8. Decide which neural pathways to show / hide;
9. Open new map; it can be AC Map, FC Map, 3D Human Map, or Sync Map;
   (Open Sync Map will open a 3D map viewer in split screen as shown here)
10. Change the background color, viewing mode, flight path display (2D/3D), the way organs are rendered; and
11. Zoom in / out and reset the zoom level (you can also do so using your mouse).

12. Switch to 3D on the flight path display and use mouse right-click to rotate the 3D map.

Interacting with the Flatmap

From a flatmap, you can:

1. Click on a given marker or a feature dataset marker (e.g., the Pancreas marker) to open the sidebar and show all the datasets related to it (e.g., 3 datasets are related to the pancreas; note that this hides all the other markers which can be shown back by removing the filtering in the sidebar);
2. Select a specific anatomical feature (e.g., the brainstem); and
3. Select a particular neuron or group of neurons (e.g., the Neuron type aacar 13) to show neuron and connectivity information in the sidebar.
