Description
This repository accompanies the manuscript Radtke-Schuller et al. Brain, Structure and Function 2020, and contains 1) the plates of a new brain atlas of the pale spear-nosed bat Phyllostomus discolor, that provides high-quality histological material for identification of brain structures in stereotaxic coordinates derived from a CT scan, 2) a version of the atlas plates at reduced resolution, 3) an index of abbreviations, 4) an index of structures and 5) additional high-resolution images of a series of Phyllostomus discolor brain sections stained for NADPH-diaphorase, Acetylcholine-esterase and Nissl. Each atlas plate combines high-resolution images of frontal sections alternately stained for cells (Nissl) and myelinated fibers (Gallyas) at 49 rostrocaudal levels, at intervals of 350 µm. To facilitate comparisons with other species, brain structures were named according to the widely accepted Paxinos nomenclature and previous neuroanatomical studies of other bat species. The additional high-resolution images of Phyllostomus discolor brain sections are taken from a series of 40 µm thick sections with neighboring sections stained for NADPH-diaphorase, Acetylcholine-esterase and Nissl. Sections are uncorrected for shrinkage. Each set of 3 sections iterates at 160 µm anterior-posterior distance. The series was cut at an angle slightly deviating from that of the atlas brain.
