9.1 | 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: |

[[(% style="color:#2980b9" %)//QuickNII//>>doc:.Image registration to reference atlas using QuickNII.WebHome]](%%) generates atlas maps customised to match the proportions and cutting plane of the brain sections. //[[(% style="color:#3498db" %)VisuAlign>>doc:.Image registration to reference atlas using QuickNII.WebHome]]//(%%) enables nonlinear adjustments of the reference atlas to the experimental section. |

9.1 | 12 | In combination, the tools facilitate semi-automated quantification, eliminating the need for more time consuming methods such as stereological analysis with manual delineation of brain regions. |

| |
20.1 | 33 | * The QUINT workflow is semi-automated, combining three open-source software that can be operated without scripting knowledge. |
| |
15.1 | 34 | |
| 35 | ((( | ||
| |
20.1 | 36 | * As the quantifications are performed in regions defined by a reference atlas, the region definitions are standardized, allowing comparisons of data from different laboratories. |
