GoKawiilNature issues author correction for mouse brain atlas paper
The authors of the mouse brain stereotaxic atlas study published a correction fixing several errors: a mislabeled gene name in a figure (corrected to 'Emx1-Cre'), an inaccurate Dice score and sample size in Extended Data Fig. 4, and an updated voxel resolution value in the methods section describing whole-head dataset acquisition. The HTML and PDF versions of the paper have been updated accordingly, with the original figure included as supplementary material for comparison.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Precision in neuroscience atlases is critical since researchers worldwide rely on these datasets for accurate brain mapping and comparative studies. Even small transcription or labeling errors in foundational reference data can propagate into downstream research if left uncorrected, making transparent post-publication corrections essential for scientific reproducibility.
- A gene label error ('Exm1-Cre' to 'Emx1-Cre') was corrected in the atlas figures
- Statistical data including a Dice score and sample size were fixed for accuracy
- Voxel resolution values in the methods were updated to match reported results
