ALLEN BRAIN ATLAS API
The Allen Institute for Brain Science offers access to its published data through an application programming interface (API). The API, documentation, sample applications, and 2012 Allen Brain Atlas Hackathon materials are made available to the community under the Allen Institute's Terms of Use in hopes of facilitating discovery.
