Paxinos & Franklin's “The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates” (2nd edition) spatially registered to the Allen Mouse Common Coordinate Framework

The dataset contains location metadata defining the spatial registration of the 2nd edition of “The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates” (Paxinos & Franklin, 2001) to the serial two-photon tomography (STPT) volume of the Allen Mouse Common Coordinate Framework (CCF, version 3; Oh et al., 2015). The stereotaxic atlas of Franklin & Paxinos contains revised delineations of 100 coronal and 32 sagittal diagrams from young adult C57BL/6J mice. The schematic diagram images were spatially registered to the Allen Mouse CCF. The dataset consists of an .xml file with spatial metadata that can be opened in the QuickNII tool (RRID:SCR_016854) to view overlay images of the two atlases. The atlas images are not shared due to copyright restrictions, but the user can use own images together with the .xml file provided here, following the procedure provided in the accompanying data descriptor file. The dataset can be used for direct comparison of anatomical landmarks and spatial correspondences of brain region delineated in the two atlases.
