Anterograde visualization of projections from ventral orbitofrontal cortex in rat (case: F20)

High-resolution bright-field microscopy images (32) of serial coronal brain sections showing anterogradely labeled axons in orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in a female adult Sprague Dawley rat. The anterograde tracer biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) was injected into the ventral orbitofrontal cortex (VOC). Brain sections are 300 µm apart and 50 µm thick. The dataset contains a complete series throughout the anterior-posterior extent of the brain, contributing to visualization of a topographically organized connectivity from OFC throughout the brain, including the published data on a topographically organized projection to the parahippocampal areas.

成年雌性Sprague Dawley大鼠眶额皮质（orbitofrontal cortex, OFC）内顺行标记轴突的连续冠状脑切片高分辨率明场显微镜图像（共32张）。顺行示踪剂生物素化葡聚糖胺（biotinylated dextran amine, BDA）被注射至腹侧眶额皮质（ventral orbitofrontal cortex, VOC）。脑切片间距300 µm，厚度50 µm。该数据集包含覆盖大脑前后轴范围的完整系列切片，有助于可视化OFC与全脑的拓扑组织连接性，包括已发表的关于其向海马旁区拓扑组织投射的相关数据。
