Integrated Maps Viewer

The integrated maps viewer can be used to access and interact with flatmaps / 3D maps, anatomical scaffolds, data, and simulations. learn more about maps

What can I do with the Integrated Maps Viewer?

The integrated maps viewer can be used to access and interact with the multiple visualizations that MAPs has to offer.

• Flatmaps
• 3D maps;
• Anatomical scaffolds;
• Data; and
• Simulations.

AC Flatmap Viewer

The primary interface of the Integrated Maps viewer is the Flatmap Viewer. See the AC Flatmap Viewer documentation for details on how to explore all they have to offer.

3D maps can be opened from the Open new map tooltip. Learn how to use 3D Maps in detail from its documentation

Access Data & Models

Datasets

Access to data is done through the sidebar where you can search for datasets that contain data that can be rendered using the Data viewer. For instance, open the sidebar and:

1. Search for RAGP (i.e. right atrial ganglionic plexus);
2. Click on the Plots (4) button;
3. Click on the View Plot button;
4. Click on the right arrow button and go back to step 3 until you have opened all four plots;
5. This is how one plot is initially rendered; and
6. This is how all four plots are eventually rendered using the 4-page view.

Computational Models and Simulations

Access to simulations is done through the sidebar, as illustrated here.

Anatomical Models

Access to anatomical scaffolds can be done either through the flatmap itself or through the sidebar, as illustrated here.

Explore Connectivity

When the Connectivity tab is opened in the sidebar by clicking a neuron on flatmap (e.g., clicking "Neuron type bolew unbranched 10"), the information in the connectivity tab is connected with the sidebar's Search tab and also with the flatmap.

1. Clicking Explore origin data, Explore destination data, or Search for data on components will switch to the Search tab by applying the connectivity data in filters.
2. Clicking Show connectivity on map will move the map to show the highlighted area.
3. Clicking Copy to clipboard button will copy the connectivity information to clipboard.

The SPARC maps interface features a sidebar to locate datasets more easily.

The sidebar is a powerful tool that allows you to find datasets from within the Maps interface.
