ABSTRACT Our current work aims at compiling a computerized procedure that will allow different data sets to be integrated via the generation of a brain mapping system using the Linux operative system. This will provide a digitized model of the brain based on serial sections of the organ. The sections will be voxelized, thus obtaining spatial control of the images processed. The system will permit the linking of specific brain areas to associated data bases, creating true spatial thematic maps. Our development includes the use of physical and logical computer elements that will allow the collection, management, analysis, modulation, representation and output of data to brain territories.
