High-Throughput Imaging of Brain Gene Expression

 

Supplement Figures and Numeric outputs of the algorithms

To plot the figures using the .mat files listed download corresponding figure[1..5].mat files
and run the matlab script  plotfigure.m., make sure that figure files are in the same
directory as the script file or that the path variable in Matlab is properly setup.

Normal(left) and Alzheimer's(right).
Remark: The correlograms obtained by running the matlab script might have
a different structure which nevertheless should preserve for both images.
