Swanson's “Brain Maps: Structure of the Rat Brain” (2nd edition) spatially registered to the Waxholm Space atlas of the rat brain

The dataset contains location metadata defining the spatial registration of the 2nd edition of “Brain Maps: Structure of the Rat Brain” (Swanson, 1998) to the MRI/DTI image volume of the Waxholm Space atlas of the rat brain (Version 1.01; RRID:SCR017124). The stereotaxic atlas by Swanson contains 73 revised coronal diagrams from an adult Sprague-Dawley rat. The schematic diagram images were spatially registered to the Waxholm Space atlas of the rat brain. The dataset consists of .png images of the atlas plates and an accompanying .xml file with spatial metadata that can be opened in the QuickNII tool (RRID:SCR016854) to view overlay images of the two atlases. The procedure for this is described in the data descriptor file. The dataset can be used to inspect how regions delineated in the two atlases spatially relate to each other.

本数据集包含用于定义《脑图谱：大鼠脑结构》（Brain Maps: Structure of the Rat Brain）第二版与大鼠脑Waxholm空间图谱（Waxholm Space atlas）的MRI/DTI图像体积之间空间配准的位置元数据。Swanson所著的立体定位图谱（stereotaxic atlas）包含73幅经修订的成年斯普拉格-道利（Sprague-Dawley）大鼠冠状面解剖示意图。上述示意图图像已完成与大鼠脑Waxholm空间图谱的空间配准。本数据集包含图谱版片的.png格式图像，以及附带的含空间元数据的.xml格式文件，可通过QuickNII工具（RRID:SCR016854）打开该文件以查看两套图谱的叠加图像。该操作流程已在数据描述文件中详细说明。本数据集可用于探究两套图谱中划定的脑区在空间上的相互关联关系。
