Description

Returns the full name of brain regions given the structure IDs, e.g. 'Allen:10657' as used throughout the ABAEnrichment package. The full name is composed of an acronym and the name as used by the Allen Brain Atlas project [1-2].

Usage

    get_name(structure_ids)

Arguments

structure_ids

a vector of brain structure IDs, e.g. c('Allen:10657','Allen:10173') or c(10657,10173)

Value

Note

The acronym is added because the names alone are not unique.
