Abstract
Nowadays, biologists investigate different causes for deafness. One reason
is a damage in a particular region of the auditory brain stem. These differences were
discovered by investigating brain slices of different laboratory mice. However, these
slices are only a two dimensional representation of the whole brain part. The arising
question was how these differences of structure affect the three dimensional representation
of this region. Therefore, an interdisciplinary framework was developed, which
allows even unknown users to investigate and compare these regions.
