Multi-template MRI mouse brain atlas (both in vivo and ex vivo)

DOI

Mouse Brain MRI atlas (both in-vivo and ex-vivo) (repository relocated from the original webpage)

List of atlases

  • FVB_NCrl: Brain MRI atlas of the wild-type FVB_NCrl mouse strain (used as the background strain for the rTg4510 which is a tauopathy model mice express a repressible form of human tau containing the P301L mutation that has been linked with familial frontotemporal dementia.)

  • NeAt: Brain MRI atlas of the whld-type C57BL/6J mouse strain. Atlas was created based on the original MRM NeAt mouse brain atlas (template images reoriented and bias-corrected, left/right structure label seperated, and 4th ventricle manual segmentation added).

  • Tc1 Cerebellum: TC1 mouse cerebellar cortical sublayer lobules.This mouse cerebellar atlas can be used for mouse cerebellar morphometry.

Sample images of atlas

These atlases can be used by the corresponding automatic mouse brain segmentation tools, which can use the in-vivo/ex-vivo atlas here to perform multi-atlas structural parellation based on non-rigid registration and label fusion.
