+To run brainreg, you need to pass:
+    * The path to the sample data
+    * The path to the directory to save the results
+    * The voxel sizes
+    * The orientation
+    * The atlas to use
+
+We put this all together in a single command:
+
+brainreg test_brain brainreg_output -v 50 40 40  --orientation psl --atlas allen_mouse_50um
