a Top, the Paxinos atlas was fitted on coronal sections based on anatomical landmarks identified in the bright-field (left) and dark-field (right) images. Blue arrows, electrolytic lesion. Bottom, the atlas image was overlaid on fluorescent images showing the virus infection at the target area (left, red arrow; green, eYFP) and the implant track (right, yellow arrow; red, DiI). Scale bar, 1 mm. b The corresponding coronal CT slice with the implant trajectory localized in vivo (grayscale image). c Comparison of the histologically reconstructed implant track (red line) and the in vivo localization (blue dashed line). Yellow numbers refer to the anteroposterior coordinates from Bregma in mm.
