Introducing DANDI Atlas Explorer: Explore the DANDI Archive in 3D

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Where in the brain does DANDI have data? As the archive grows, this question becomes increasingly important for researchers planning experiments, searching for collaborators, or surveying available data for meta-analyses. Today, we’re excited to introduce DANDI Atlas Explorer—an interactive 3D brain viewer that lets you explore the DANDI Archive through the lens of the Allen Common Coordinate Framework (CCF) mouse brain atlas.

What is DANDI Atlas Explorer?

DANDI Atlas Explorer is a browser-based tool that renders an interactive 3D mouse brain and highlights which regions have associated neurophysiology datasets on DANDI. Regions with more datasets appear more opaque, giving you an immediate, intuitive sense of data coverage across the brain. Click any region to see the specific dandisets that recorded there, with direct links back to the DANDI Archive.
