MRI/DTI Atlas of the Rat Brain offers two major enhancements when compared with earlier attempts to make MRI/DTI rat brain atlases. First, the spatial resolution at 25µm is considerably higher than previous data published. Secondly, the comprehensive set of MRI/DTI contrasts provided has enabled the authors to identify more than 80% of structures identified in The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates.- Ninety-six coronal levels from the olfactory bulb to the pyramidal decussation are depicted- Delineations primarily made on the basis of direct observations on the MRI contrasts- Each of the 96 open book pages displays four items— top left, the directionally colored fractional anisotropy image derived from DTI (DTI - FAC); top right, the diffusion-weighted image (DWI); bottom left, the gradient recalled echo (GRE); and bottom right, a diagrammatic synthesis of the information derived from these three images plus two additional images, which are not displayed (ARDC and RD). This is repeated for 96 coronal levels, which makes the levels 250 μm apart- The FAC images are shown in full color- The orientation of sections corresponds to that in Paxinos and Watson''s The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, 7th Edition (2014)- The images have been obtained from 3D isotropic population averages (number of rats=5). All abbreviations of structure names are identical to the Paxinos & Watson histologic atlas

**Selected for Doody’s Core Titles� 2024 in Neuroscience**MRI/DTI Atlas of the Human Brainstem in Transverse and Sagittal Planes presents a detailed view of the human brainstem in DTI/MRI. It is the first ever MRI or histological atlas to present detailed diagrams of sagittal views of the brainstem. Presenting data of unprecedented quality, images are juxtaposed with detailed diagrams in the transverse and sagittal planes. The atlas features a 50 micron resolution for the GRE and 200 microns for the FAC and DWI, 8000 times higher than that seen in a clinical MRI and 1000 times higher than that seen in a clinical DTI scan, all based on one brain.

This atlas is important for neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, pathologists, anatomists, neurophysiologists, radiologists, radiotherapists (e.g., for cyberknife guidance), and graduate students in neuroscience.

Presents the first ever detailed MRI-DTI atlas on the human brainstemDiscusses primary data to help researchers identify brainstem structures in their own preparations from neuroanatomical, physiological, neuropharmacological and gene expression studiesAccompanies the gold standard reference on the neuroanatomy of the human nervous system for neuroscientists and experimental psychologistsIncludes the Expert Consult eBook version that is compatible with PC, Mac and most mobile devices and eReaders, thus allowing readers to browse, search and interact with content
