About

MainImageRatHippocampus.jpg
The rat hippocampus atlas is an interactive resource providing detailed descriptions of 18 hippocampal structures, criteria for delineating 63 boundaries between these structures, a histological image repository with delineated boundaries, and bidirectional links between descriptions (Index of structures) and corresponding section images (Image viewer). The system is intended for researchers working in the field, as well as students interested in this brain region.

The atlas is accessed through the structure index or image viewer. See tutorial for details about functionality.

Access image repository

The image repository consists of ~100 coronal images stained for NeuN, calbindin, and parvalbumin. The triple viewer allows interactive zooming and panning of each viewer panel, with a possibility to synchronize the position and zoom in the three panels. Annotations can be toggled on / of, and pre-set high-magnification positions for annotated regions are available. For further details, see the tutorial.

Re-use of data from this repository is allowed provided that reference is given to the following publication: Kjonigsen LJ, Leergaard TB, Witter MP, Bjaalie JG., 2011.
