Correction: Bi-channel image registration and deep-learning segmentation (BIRDS) for efficient, versatile 3D mapping of mouse brain

Wang X, Zeng W, Yang X, Zhang Y, Fang C, Zeng S, Han Y, Fei P. 2021. Bi-channel image registration and deep-learning segmentation (BIRDS) for efficient, versatile 3D mapping of mouse brain. eLife 10:e63455. doi: 10.7554/eLife.63455.

Published 18, January 2021

In our BIRDS software, a few parts in the registration module were contributed by Yongsheng Zhang and Prof. Shaoqun Zeng. When we were writing the eLife paper last year, we misunderstood that this work had been previously published along with their brain research work in their Wang et al 2020a paper (Science Bulletin 65:1203-1216) which we cited in the eLife paper. Due to this misunderstanding their contributions were only acknowledged in the published eLife paper. We are therefore formally correcting the eLife paper to add them both as co-authors. All the authors agree to their addition as co-authors in the paper.

The details of Yongsheng Zhang and Prof. Shaoqun Zeng’s contribution are explained below:

"Yongshen Zhang and Shaoqun Zeng first developed the efficient method to improve the registration stability by encoding global axis information using regional grayscale inversion. It allowed the extraction of more features from the raw image data and is indeed helpful in our BIRDS multi-channel registration framework; Yongsheng Zhang also developed the dynamic z down-sampling together with Weilin Zeng (exisiting author), to achieve better registration initialization. Furthermore, Yongsheng Zhang contributed to the development of interactive framework, which allows the operation of the local registration by drawing arrows on the merged coarse registered images instead of marking points, and notable improves the efficiency of semiautomatic registration. "
