The JRCVNC2018F reference VNC is an average template VNC constructed from VNCs labelled with brp-SNAP, dehydrated, and mounted in DPX and imaged at 0.19 x 0.19 x 0.38 microns. The image was downsampled to result in a 0.4 micron isotropic voxel size, which we take to be the standard JRCVNC2018F space.

The JRCVNC2018U reference VNC was constructed as for JRCVNC2018F VNC but pooling both male and female brains.

JRCVNC2018F.surf, was generated in Amira from a 2 micron downsampled, Lanczos filtered version of the respective template VNC. A surface was then generated with a threshold level of 2800 and then smoothed and downsampled.

JRCVNC2018U.surf, was generated in Amira from a 2 micron downsampled, Lanczos filtered 8 bit version of the respective template VNC. A surface was then generated with a threshold level of 20 and then smoothed and downsampled.

Details

For the VNC, Bogovic and Saalfeld used 36 female individuals (72 images including left-right flips) for the female template, 39 male individuals (78 image with left-right flips) for the male template, and the union of both for the unisex brain template: 75 individuals (150 images with left-right flips).
