Anterograde visualization of projections from lateral and ventral orbitofrontal cortex in rat (case: F1)

High-resolution bright-field microscopy images (85) of serial coronal brain sections showing anterogradely labeled axons in orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in a female adult Sprague Dawley rat. Two anterograde tracers, biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) and Phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin (PHA-L), were injected into the lateral (LOC) and ventral orbitofrontal cortex (VOC), respectively. Brain sections are 300 µm apart and 50 µm thick. The dataset contains two complete series throughout the anterior-posterior extent of the brain, contributing to visualization of a topographically organized connectivity from OFC throughout the brain, including the published data on a topographically organized projection to the parahippocampal areas.
