Vole Brain Atlas
Strain: Prairie Vole
Gender: Male
The Prairie Vole has become an important animal model for the study of paternal and maternal behaviors, affiliation and aggression.
The Vole Brain Atlas has been developed to analyze preclinical imaging data (MRI, PET, SPECT and CT) along with a GUI that facilitates registration and segmentation. High resolution MRI anatomical scans were collected in six adult, male prairie voles and used as the basis for making tracings on each slice. The final atlas is average of 6 brain tracings. The atlas constitutes of 56 equidistant axial slices of 250 microns in thickness; 116 regions of interest are identified and grouped into several major regions of the brain.
The Atlas Includes:
- Nifti (nii)/Stimulate(sdt/spr) format template image files.
- 3D (Vtk) surface models of all 116 ROIs and brain shell.
- Brain atlas drawings in pdf/png format for reference.
- EVA: Ekam Visualization and Analysis GUI for registration and segmentation
