Averaging of different datasets using “FlashMap”. (A) List of steps performed by “FlashMap” for averaging datasets. All steps are performed ROI-by-ROI and section-by-section. In a first step the amount of probes is averaged (1), which allows to even out the amount of probes by dividing the values into ‘subvalues” (2a) to calculate “base values” (2b) and generate “work values” (2c). Finally, the new “work values” are averaged by “FlashMap” (3). (B) Heatmaps represent the relative SVZ thickness of 3 independent analyses (n1, n2, n3) as well as an averaged heatmap generated by “FlashMap”. Abbreviation: ROI, region of interest; SVZ, subventricular zone. For a more detailed illustration see also Supplementary Fig. S5.
