Hello All,

We're a research team out of the University of New Mexico, attempting to plot microplastics abundance onto brain sections. I've been trying to figure out the best way to do this and figured it would be worth asking the experts here. For some background, I've analyzed multi-omics data and tried my hand at molecular docking analysis, but this is solidly outside my wheelhouse.

For a visual explanation, each brain section analyzed is about 9mm thick from front to back (see picture below).

Unfortunately, there was too much material in most of the sections, and these had to be subdivided into regions per slice from left to right and top to bottom (see below). The subregions are named B1 for slice 1, C1-C2 for slice 2, D1-D4 for slice 3, E1-E7 for slice 4,..., all the way to AB1 for slice 27.
