Brain-wide quantitative data on parvalbumin positive neurons in the rat

This dataset contains quantitative data extracted from four sets of parvalbumin stained sections covering the whole brain of normal, adult Sprague-Dawley rats. Section images from the dataset “Distribution of parvalbumin-positive interneurons in the normal adult rat brain” [1] were analysed using the QUINT workflow. The dataset includes numbers and densities of cells for brain regions defined according to the Waxholm Space atlas of the rat brain and point coordinate data representing labelled cells across the brain. A detailed description of the number and distribution on parvalbumin neurons in hippocampal regions is given in the related publication. To facilitate re-use of the data, the dataset furthermore includes atlas maps and segmented images in .png format and .nut files used to run the analyses. References: 1.
