This collection includes high-resolution and sensitivity images, as well as associated data analyses aiming to understand how the thalamus is connected to its targets in the cortex, a part of the brain necessary for integrating sensori-motor information and higher executive functions. Modern viral tracing (recombinant adeno-associated viruses, serotype 2/1) techniques and high-speed imaging (Hamamatsu, NanoZoomer Digital Pathology scope, serial # 12090) were used to label thalamic projections and image their cortical targets from 75 brains with 254 injections.
A comprehensive thalamocortical projection map, with a quantitative description of the thalamic origin of 19 cortical targets is presented.
The data were generated by Barbara Hunnicutt, Brian Long, Deniz Kusefoglu, Katrina Gertz, Haining Zhong, Tianyi Mao and the Mao Lab.
