## Chapter 12/Figure 1.gif Back | Home | Next | Nissl and Myelin slice data: frontal These 8-bit raw cropped sections extracted from the Sidman mouse Atlas show the degree of anatomical voxel detail underlying this simulation. The thalamus, thalamic radiations, and portions of the target cortex are prominent. The dark cluster of cells in the lower middle of the upper Nissl-stained panel is the thalamus, and includes the ventrobasal complex (VB) on its right. The region with dark lines through it (in Myelin stain, lower panel) is the thalamic radiation. Cerebral cortex is along the top (truncated) and at the far right. The Hippocampus in the upper panel has its classical appearance showing the v-shaped dentate gyrus, and in the lower panel lies under a dark myelinated band (the white matter) running along the under surface of the cortex.
