Abstract:
Intersubject comparison in cognitive studies on humans is
simplified when functional maps are transformed to Talairach space.
The aim of our Center is to offer a similar tool for studies on
nonhuman vertebrates. Reported here is the development of a
R
at
S
tandard
C
oordinate
S
ystem (RSCS). It consists of a 3D atlas constructed from Nissl
stained sectional material--a cut-away view of which is shown
below--as well as alignment routines. Sectional material, such as
autoradiograms from a 2-deoxyglucose study, can be mapped into the
RSCS and then compared using image arithmetic. (Supported by NIH
P41-RR01638).
