Micron-Scale Neuroanatomy of a Whole Mouse Brain

Caption

This shows micron-scale neuroanatomy of a whole thy1-GFP-M brain. (a) Isosurface perspective (P) and transverse (T), coronal (C) and sagittal (S) contours of an entire PND-15 mouse brain. The volumes highlighted by the blue and red boxes are magnified in panel (b) and (c) respectively. (b) Volume rendering of a portion of hippocampus. (c) Volume rendering of a portion of superior colliculus. (d) Soma segmentation and process tracing of selected fluorescent neurons present in the red box (c). For clarity, each neuron was drawn with a different color. Scale bars, 200 µm.
