Multimodal histological imaging allows for the detailed analysis of structural and molecular organization within the human brain, forming a critical foundation for studying brain function and neurodegenerative processes. By integrating data from various imaging modalities at different scales, multimodal brain atlases offer a comprehensive tool for neuroimaging, modeling, and clinical applications, supporting a holistic understanding of brain relationships.

Integrating image data across different subjects and modalities remains a significant challenge in developing fully integrated atlas frameworks. To overcome this, X-BRAIN will develop AI algorithms for learning joint feature representations from multimodal histological images. These algorithms will enable the identification and matching of semantically corresponding images, regardless of their modality. The resulting features will enable data-driven spatial anchoring and multimodal analysis of organizational principles.
