Neurotransporter Atlas: VGLUT3
The VGLUT3-atlas provides online access to high resolution images revealing the distribution of vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGLUT3) in the normal rodent brain. The present Virtual Microscope viewing tool allows the user to navigate within and across sagittal section images. The atlas is based on data published by Stensrud et al. 2013 (J Comp Neurol, 521:3042-56).

VGLUT3 labeling as visible in high-magnification images
Experimental procedures
The images represent sections of one male Wistar rat (8 weeks). The sections were cut on a freeze microtome and labeled with antibodies against VGLUT3 (0,17µg/ml, polyclonal rabbit antibody, catalog number 135 203, Synaptic Systems) according to a standard protocol for light microscopic immunoperoxidase cytochemistry (Gundersen et al. J Neurosci, 18:6059-6070, 1998).
Atlas coordinate values
Positional coordinates representing distance from Bregma are indicated for each image in the repository. Values were estimated by matching by evaluation of multiple anatomical landmarks in comparison to a standard rat brain atlas (Paxinos and Watson, The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Elsevier Academic Press, 2007).
