D ANN Images

MNP = mandibular processes, NT = neural tube, OV = otic vesicle, PP = posterior palate, FP = floor plate. 

This centrally located tissue is likely derived from the medial nasal process.

CytoSpec software was employed to generate a 2-D ANN image for every tissue section calculated from the fully trained NeuroDeveloper ANN model. In the final step, the 2-D images are provided as inputs for the SCI Run software to render the completed 3-D ANN image. 

Figure 6.10 3-D ANN image of the embryonic chick face. Spectroscopically distinct anatomical features identified by combined UHCA and ANN analysis are plotted in five cluster colors. The maxillary processes that surround the bottom and sides of these features are removed for clarity.
