| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There are quite limited experimental large animals for use in preclinical brain research. In this study, we aimed to make the brain atlas of the miniature pigs for promoting the preclinical research. Mexican hairless pig has been used. In the brain of this animal, we examined to get images with the common standard planes by Magnetic Resonance (MR) measurement and those of the serial brain sections. There have been observed the intracerebral markers to set the common horizontal standard plane, anterior and posterior commissure. These markers were identified by the MR imaging and by Nissl staining of the brain sections. Besides, we put glass-markers visualized by MRI to adjust the common vertical standard planes in both the MR images and the brain sections. Technically, the common standards planes are able to be set in both the MR images and the brain sections, thereby partially making a draft of the integrated brain atlas using Mexican hairless pig.
