The Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) is a map of the human body. Like maps of other sorts – including the map-like representations we find in familiar anatomical atlases – it is a representation of a certain portion of spatial reality as it exists at a certain (idealized) instant of...
The Human Reference Atlas (HRA) aims to map all of the cells of the human body to advance biomedical research and clinical practice. This Perspective presents collaborative work by members of 16 international consortia on two essential and interlinked parts of the HRA: (1) three-dimensional repre...
Therefore, attention has been focused on detecting and utilizing relationships between entities extracted in the previous paper and anatomical parts to map anatomical entities to the specific human body parts to which they belong. For explicit anatomical related entities, there are dictionary-based ...

To further increase precision, anatomists standardize the way in which they view the body. Just as maps are normally oriented with north at the top, the standard body “map,” oranatomical position, is that of the body standing upright, with the feet at shoulder width and parallel, toes for...
Modern acupuncture research is based on an assumption that it is the function of acupuncture meridians and points which are important. "Our interpretation shows that the original anatomists were making a map of the structure of thebody, not of its function."...
Discovering phenotypic modules is thus a crucial task in evolutionary developmental biology (EvoDevo), helping not only to understand the evolution of organismal form3 but also to decipher the genotype-to-phenotype map2. Network analysis is a mathematical approach widely used to inspect intricate ...
However, information on each subject's individual differences is retained as a vector-valued displacement map (d, e). This map indicates how that subject deviates locally from the average anatomy. The root mean square magnitude (e) of these deviations provides a variability measure whose values ...
This would further suggest that there was a progression in efforts to map the body that was supported by the Han Imperial Court, as scientists would require access to executed criminals to do this work. We have already highlighted the many ways in which the Mawangdui manuscripts appear similar ...
Thus, the objective of this study was to map and describe the main points of acupuncture in the species Boa constrictor , and their indications to promote the balance of this species. The unprecedented result of the mapping was the discovery of specific acupoints with individual location ...
