The subthalamic nucleus, substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area in the WHS rat brain atlas v4. (a) On the left side: a 3D rendering of the ventral tegmental area, subthalamic nucleus, substantia nigra reticular, compact and lateral parts in the WHS rat brain atlas v4. In the middle: lateral and horizontal views of 3D renderings with indicators of the horizontal, sagittal and coronal sections shown on the right side. The sagittal, coronal and horizontal sMRI section insets indicate the location and orientation of the MRI slices shown in (b–d,e–g,h–j), respectively. (b,e,h) Structural T2*-weighted MRI. (c,f,i) Whole-brain parcellation images with the striatum regions in colour and other regions in grey. (d,g,j) Diffusion tensor imaging, with DTI orientation colour code inset in (d) Abbreviations: BS-u, brainstem, unspecified; cp, cerebral peduncle; DV, dorsoventral; HTh-u, hypothalamic region, unspecified; ML, mediolateral; ml-u, medial lemniscus, unspecified; RC, rostrocaudal; ZI-c, zona incerta, caudal part; ZI-d, zona incerta, dorsal part; ZI-v, zona incerta, ventral part.
