5 -**The QUINT workflow enables an atlas based analysis of extracted features from histological image sections from the rodent brain using 3D reference atlases. **
6 +The QUINT workflow enables the quantification and spatial analysis of labelled features in histological images of rodent brain sections based on reference atlases of the brain. It utilises three open-source software:

7 -**Examples of use are: cell counting and spatial distributions; determination of projection areas in connectivity experiments; exploration of pathological hallmarks in brain disease models. Integration of various data to the same reference space enables new exploration strategies and re-use of experimental data.**
