Brain Explorer is not working well on my new MacBook. My laptop fulfils the minimum requirements but when I open Brain Explorer 1) the structures are listed but cannot be visualised when I select the structure(s), nothing appears (and I have the datasets installed), 2) the software doesn’t hold on for long; it closes automatically after a few seconds. Could you please advise on the issue and solution?

Hi @sofia.grade,
Unfortunately some users seem to experience issues on certain Mac configurations. We have looked into the issue a couple times but at this time do not have a clear diagnosis of the issue or recommendation for fixing it.
Most configurations of Macs continue to work, and we have no reports of this issue on other operating systems, so if you have access to other machines, that may be a route.
Alternatively, some functionality is available in the browser-based Allen Brain Explorer beta, which can be found here: http://help.brain-map.org/display/brainexplorer/Allen+Brain+Explorer+(beta)%3A++User+Guide
I’m facing the same issue with the Brain-explorer app on my macbook pro 2019 version. (OSX 10.15.6)
I also have the same problem with MAC OS Catalina v. 10.15.7
I also have problems with my MacBook but I don’t understand the cause. I keep hearing more people face more problems like this. 
I am also having the same problem on Catalina and Big Sur. I also would like to know if there is a plan for Apple Silicon support in the near future?
I am also having a problem on macbooks with the M chips. Old intel chip macbooks work fine.
