Sleuth Version 1.1
Sleuth is the BrainMap application that is used to search for papers of interest, read their corresponding meta-data, and plot their results as coordinates on a standard glass brain in Talairach space.
Sleuth is broken into four main panels: Search, Search Results, Workspace, and Plot.
Search Panel
To perform a search of the BrainMap database, click on one of the five search buttons: Citation, Subjects, Condition, Experiments, or Locations. A pop-up window appears with a choice of relevant search fields. Select your search criteria in the popup window, then click "Add", and hit "Okay". Lastly, click on "Start Search" on the main panel.
Search Results Panel
Once your search has been completed, a list of all papers matching your criteria is available for preview in the Search Results panel. This panel is intended to screen searches by showing limited information on each paper. To download the papers of interest into your workspace, choose "Download Checked" or "Download All".
Workspace Panel
In this panel, you will find complete information on each paper and each experiment. The workspace contents and vital statistics are shown in the top portion of the panel. On the right, you can choose what information you wish to view about each experiment, including Citation, Submitter, Prose Description, Subjects, Conditions, Brain Template, Experiments, and Results Synopsis. This information is viewed in the bottom panel.
Plot Panel
In the next panel you can view a plot of all the coordinates in your workspace, color-coded by paper. By default, the orientation is on axial, but can be changed to coronal or sagittal using the appropriate button on the bottom left. The middle bars allow you to scroll through different slices in the brain.
