MBAT is extensible through it’s plugin architecture. Modules can be written to extend the primary workspaces or new workspace can be developed for domain specific tasks.

Plugin Architecture
Viewer Plugins
NeuroTerrain & Mouse Brain Library (MBL) -Author: Carl Gustafson, Drexel University
The NeuroTerrain Atlas Client plugin is a viewer for data sets hosted on NeuroTerrain Atlas Servers.
The Mouse Brain Library (MBL) viewer plugin is designed to allow easy browsing of individual sections from MBL data sets.
Large Volume Rendering -Author: Jeff Brandenberg, Duke University
The Large Volume Viewer (LVV) plugin allows the user to view volume image data, such as MRI and CT, without loading an entire dataset into memory.
Search Plugins

Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) Data Source Plugin -Author: Edriss Merchant, Caltech
The ELN data source plugins allows the user to query the Caltech Electronic Lab Notebook and retrieve a list of query results (Study Information, Dataset Information, Subject Information). Every Dataset contains a number of MRI image scans stored in NIFTI format. Data is not publicly available.
Registration Plugins
- Landmark Warp Registration -Author: Davit Janvalyan, Caltech
- Caltech Automated Image Registration (AIR) Pipeline -Author: Davit Janvalyan, Caltech

All plugins are currently packaged together. Please see our plugin page for more information.
Partners' Plugins
The broad utility of MBAT is due to its open architecture. The MouseBIRN partners have created several plugins for access and display of image data resources that they host.
