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 viewing tool allows the user to navigate within and across sagittal section images. The atlas is based on data presented in: 

Stensrud MJ, Chaudhry FA, Leergaard TB, Bjaalie JG, Gundersen V. Vesicular glutamate transporter-3 in the rodent brain: vesicular colocalization with vesicular γ-aminobutyric acid transporter. J Comp Neurol (2013) 521:3042–56. doi:10.1002/cne.23331


VGLUT3 labeling as visible in high-magnification images

A: Punctuate dark-brown labeling representing VGLUT3-positive nerve endings in the pyramidal layer of the hippocampus. Scale bar, 50 µm.

B: VGLUT3 stained neuronal cell bodies (arrows) and processes (arrowheads) in the striatum. Scale bar, 50 µm.


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).

Data sharing

Re-use of data from this repository is permitted provided reference is made to the following publication: Stensrud et al. J Comp Neurol, 521:3042-56, 2013. doi: 10.1002/cne.23331.

Access repository and Virtual Microscope

Go to Navigator to access and explore the high resolution section images.
