Athymic Nude Rat Brain Atlas: A Comprehensive Guide for Neuroscientists

By Bengt Mattsson, Malin Parmar, Anders Bjrklund

Athymic Nude Rat Brain Atlas is a groundbreaking resource for neuroscientists, providing the first-ever stereotaxic brain atlas of the athymic nude rat (Crl:NIH-Foxn1rnu). This T-cell deficient rat model has been widely used in experimental studies and pre-clinical safety and efficacy studies, making this atlas an essential tool for researchers in the field.

Key Features of the Atlas

This 2D vector-based atlas contains coronal, sagittal, and horizontal brain sections of an athymic rat brain rendered from a single cleared specimen, placed in a computerized 3D environment. The maps enable readers to better calculate co-ordinates to target specific structures for toxin, virus, or cell delivery using stereotaxic surgery.

Why This Atlas Matters

Athymic Nude Rat Brain Atlas will be a valuable resource for any neuroscientist who wishes to work with nude rats in experimental and pre-clinical studies. By providing detailed and accurate maps of the rat brain, this atlas aims to enhance the precision and effectiveness of research studies, ultimately contributing to advancements in neuroscience and related fields.
