Data sets from the atlasing of the basal ganglia (ATAG) consortium, which provides ultra-high resolution 7Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans from young, middle-aged, and elderly participants. They include whole-brain and reduced field-of-view MP2RAGE and T2 scans with ultra-high resolution at a sub millimeter scale. The data can be used to develop new algorithms that help building new high-resolution atlases both in the basic and clinical neurosciences. They can also be used to inform the exact positioning of deep-brain electrodes relevant in patients with Parkinsons disease and neuropsychiatric diseases.

The Electronic Prenatal Mouse Brain Atlas, EPMBA, at present consists of two sets of annotated images of coronal sections from Gestational Day (GD) 12 heads and GD 16 brains of C57BL/6J mice. Ten micron thick sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Images were prepared at various resolutions for annotations and for high resolution presentation. A subset of sections were annotated and linked to anatomical terms. Additionally, horizontal sections of a GD 12 head were aligned and re-assembled into a 3D volume for digital sectioning in arbitrarily oblique planes. These images were captured using a Nikon E800 stereomicroscope with a 10X objective. The resolution is 1.35 pixels/micrometer. The PC program used to grab the images, Microbrightfield's Neurolucida (version 6), stitched together a mosaic of between 10 and 50 high-res images for each tissue slice, while the user focused the scope for each mosaic tile. Since the nature of optic lenses is to focus on one central point, it was difficult to obtain a uniformly-focused field of vision; as such, small areas of these images are blurred. Images were then transferred to a Macintosh and processed in Adobe Photoshop (version 7). Color levels were adjusted for maximum clarity of the tissue, and areas surrounding the tissue were cleared of artifacts. Each image is approximately 3350 pixels wide by 2650 pixels high. A scale bar with a length of 1350 pixels/mm is visible in the lower right-hand corner of each image. The annotations have been completed for the Atlas of Developing Mouse Brain Gestational (Embryonic) Day 12 (7/5/07) as well as the Atlas of Developing Mouse Brain Embryonic Day 16 (4/26/07). The 3D EPMBA data set has been mounted on a NeuroTerrain Atlas Server (NtAS). (6/27/07).

Atlas of high resolution Nissl stained digital images of the brain of the zebra finch, the mainstay of songbird research. The cytoarchitectural high resolution photographs and atlas presented here aim at facilitating electrode placement, connectional studies, and cytoarchitectonic analysis. This initial atlas is not in stereotaxic coordinate space. It is intended to complement the stereotaxic atlases of Akutegawa and Konishi, and that of Nixdorf and Bischof. (Akutagawa E. and Konishi M., stereotaxic atalas of the brain of zebra finch, unpublished. and Nixdorf-Bergweiler B. E. and Bischof H. J., A Stereotaxic Atlas of the Brain Of the Zebra Finch, Taeniopygia Guttata, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.) The zebra finch has proven to be the most widely used model organism for the study of the neurological and behavioral development of birdsong. A unique strength of this research area is its integrative nature, encompassing field studies and ethologically grounded behavioral biology, as well as neurophysiological and molecular levels of analysis. The availability of dimensionally accurate and detailed atlases and photographs of the brain of male and female animals, as well as of the brain during development, can be expected to play an important role in this research program. Traditionally, atlases for the zebra finch brain have only been available in printed format, with the limitation of low image resolution of the cell stained sections. The advantages of a digital atlas over a traditional paper-based atlas are three-fold. * The digital atlas can be viewed at multiple resolutions. At low magnification, it provides an overview of brain sections and regions, while at higher magnification, it shows exquisite details of the cytoarchitectural structure. * It allows digital re-slicing of the brain. The original photographs of brain were taken in certain selected planes of section. However, the brains are seldom sliced in exactly the same plane in real experiments. Re-slicing provides a useful atlas in user-chosen planes, which are otherwise unavailable in the paper-based version. * It can be made available on the internet. High resolution histological datasets can be independently evaluated in light of new experimental anatomical, physiological and molecular studies.

The template was MNI-ICBM-152 and the data from the normal subjects were normalized by affine transformation. Image dimensions are 181x217x181, 1 mm isotropic. There are two types of maps. The first one is the averaged tensor map and the second one is probabilistic maps of 11 white matter tracts reconstructed by FACT. # ICBM Group-averaged atlases: This atlas was created from ICBM database. All templates follow Radiology convention. You may need to flip right and left when you use image registration software that follows the Neurology convention.

http://www.civm.duhs.duke.edu/neuro2012ratatlas/

Multidimensional atlas of the adult Wistar rat brain based on magnetic resonance histology (MRH). The atlas has been carefully aligned with the widely used Paxinos-Watson atlas based on optical sections to allow comparisons between histochemical and immuno-marker data, and the use of the Paxinos-Watson abbreviation set. Our MR atlas attempts to make a seamless connection with the advantageous features of the Paxinos-Watson atlas, and to extend the utility of the data through the unique capabilities of MR histology: a) ability to view the brain in the skull with limited distortion from shrinkage or sectioning; b) isotropic spatial resolution, which permits sectioning along any arbitrary axis without loss of detail; c) three-dimensional (3D) images preserving spatial relationships; and d) widely varied contrast dependent on the unique properties of water protons. 3D diffusion tensor images (DTI) at what we believe to be the highest resolution ever attained in the rat provide unique insight into white matter structures and connectivity. The 3D isotropic data allow registration of multiple data sets into a common reference space to provide average atlases not possible with conventional histology. The resulting multidimensional atlas that combines Paxinos-Watson with multidimensional MRH images from multiple specimens provides a new, comprehensive view of the neuroanatomy of the rat and offers a collaborative platform for future rat brain studies. To access the atlas, click view supplementary materials in CIVMSpace at the bottom of the following webpage.
