digital rat brain atlas, in PDF format, was derived from high-resolution in situ MRI images. The images depict
transverse, sagittal, and horizontal views in contiguous 0.2 mm slices, with a
planar resolution of 50 µm. Each slice was indexed to the skull surface as well
as the skull landmarks Bregma and Lambda. Using a common interactive file
format enables users to customize the images for their application, including
image reproduction with or without background or labels. The objective was to
provide a supplementary guide for stereotaxic neurosurgery that permits more
accurate visualization of targets and determination of target coordinates in
Long Evans rats.
