At the bottom of instructions: Launch interactive atlas viewer: [coronal] [sagittal]
Click either [coronal] or [sagittal]
Top Left Search box: type in name of structure. If their name is different from the NeuroNames standard, it will appear with the citation. e.g. ( AMBA-2024 'olfactory areas ) for NeuroNames' olfactory system.
OR
In left sidebar: Navigate to structure of interest. If the structure is illustrated in the atlas, the acronym is bolded.
Click the bolded acronym and the structure will pop out in purple
If an acronym and name appear in the hierarchy, one can conclude that the structure exists in the mouse brain. It just is not illustrated in the atlas.
AMBA's DESCRIPTION OF THE MOUSE BRAIN ATLAS
the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas includes a full-color, high-resolution anatomic reference atlas accompanied by a systematic, hierarchically organized taxonomy of mouse brain structures.
In 2011, the reference atlas was updated to enable interactive online exploration of the atlas and to provide a deeper level of 3-D annotation for informatics analysis and viewing in the Brain Explorer® 3-D viewer.
For more information, please refer to the documentation.
Coronal Atlas: 132 coronal sections evenly spaced at 100 µm intervals and annotated to detail numerous brain structures
Sagittal Atlas: 21 sagittal sections spaced at 200 µm intervals and annotated for 71 major brain regions identified at the top level(s) of the brain structure hierarchal tree
