3-D point data representing the spatial distribution of corticopontine projections originating in the mouse visual cortex

The 3-D point coordinate data represent the spatial distribution of mouse brain subcortical projections from different parts of the visual cortex to the caudoputamen, thalamus, superior colliculus and pontine nuclei. The point data are derived from segmented images series programmatically downloaded from the Allen Brain Atlas Data Portal. The data are suited for 3-D visualization and comparison the spatial arrangement of visual corticostriatal, corticothalamic, corticocollicular, and corticopontine projections.

该三维点坐标数据刻画了小鼠大脑视觉皮层不同亚区向尾壳核（caudoputamen）、丘脑（thalamus）、上丘（superior colliculus）以及桥脑核（pontine nuclei）的皮层下投射的空间分布。该点数据源自从艾伦脑图谱数据门户（Allen Brain Atlas Data Portal）通过程序化方式下载的分割图像序列。本数据集适用于三维可视化以及对比视觉皮层纹状体投射、皮层丘脑投射、皮层上丘投射与皮层桥脑投射的空间排布模式。
