Research direction

Start by tracing the existing ISH-data download support in the repository and read the linked Allen API documentation on Atlas Drawings and Ontologies. Define the required download inputs and outputs for standardized annotated atlases and reference Nissl volumes; done means those resources can be downloaded through the tool.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently, we only support downloading of ISH data, however, it might be useful to provide support for downloading of the standardized annotated atlases + reference (Nissl) volumes
