Advanced Notice: End-of-life for Allen Brain Explorer (desktop app)

Dear community members,

Due to technical considerations and competing priorities, the Allen Institute plans to retire the desktop Allen Brain Explorer application by mid 2021, roughly 12 months from now.

Much of the functionality that this application offers is available in the browser in the Allen Brain Explorer beta. More functionality will be added in the browser over the next 12 months.

If your work would be impeded without this tool, please reach out via this thread. We would like to hear from what your needs are, so that we can find a sustainable way to help you moving forward. We hope the advanced nature of this notice ensures that no community member is left in a challenging position that jeopardizes their work.

Thank you for your understanding and, again, please reach out on this thread if the Allen Brain Explorer desktop application is critical to your work.

When do you plan on adding Human Brain Atlas to the web-based Explorer?

I second this! Unfortunately the desktop software is not working on my mac, and access to the 3D human atlas would be very helpful.
