Development and advancements in rodent MRI-based brain atlases.

ABSTRACT: Rodents, particularly mice and rats, are extensively utilized in fundamental neuroscience research. Brain atlases have played a pivotal role in this field, evolving from traditional printed histology atlases to digital atlases incorporating diverse imaging datasets. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based brain atlases, also known as brain maps, have been employed in specific studies. However, the existence of numerous versions of MRI-based brain atlases has impeded their standardized application and widespread use, despite the consensus within the academic community regarding their significance in mice and rats. Furthermore, there is a dearth of comprehensive and systematic reviews on MRI-based brain atlases for rodents. This review aims to bridge this gap by providing a comprehensive over
