Preface
In the 10 years since the publication of The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, there has been
increased interest in the mouse in neuroscience.
No mouse is an island. We are studying the mouse for its relevance to neuroscience and to human
health. To promote integration of information from different species, we are using the same
nomenclature and abbreviations for the mouse brain as for the human brain for structures that are
homologous. Importantly, we are now using the same nomenclature and abbreviations not only for
all mammalian brain atlases we have constructed but also for the chick brain atlas (The Chick Brain
in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Puelles et al., 2007).

Coordinates, (Puelles et al., 2007).
The authors would like users of the atlas to consider the suitability of the nomenclature and
abbreviation scheme in this book for their own work. The scheme used here is systematic and is
based on the principles of the construction of abbreviations for the elements of the period table and
abbreviations of compound words such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE).

Histology
After surgery, while still under anesthesia, mice were killed by transcardial perfusion of 20 ml ice-cold
phosphate buffered saline (0.1 M PBS, pH 7.3), followed by 20 ml of 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS.
The brain was immediately dissected free from the skull and placed dorsal surface down in a small
aluminum foil boat containing 1.5% gelatin dissolved in 0.9% saline solution. The aluminum foil boats
were made by folding aluminum foil around an appropriately sized rectangular block (20 x 12 x12 mm).
The brain was oriented in the boat so that its anterior-posterior axis was parallel to the long axis of the
boat. When suspended in the gelatin solution, the brain floats so that its dorsal surface is almost exactly
parallel to the flat skull horizontal plane. When the brain was correctly positioned, the boat was placed
in a refrigerator for 20 min for the gelatin to jell. The sides of the aluminum boat were then folded
down to expose the gelatin block. The foil now formed a tray that was used to lower the gelatin block
into dry ice-cooled isopentane. The block was lowered slowly so that freezing proceeded rostrally
through the brain, from brainstem to olfactory bulb, and no more than 1-2 mm of unfrozen tissue was
below the surface of the isopentane at any time. The frozen block was then stripped of the remaining
aluminum foil and attached to the chuck of the microtome with mounting medium. The planar sides of
the rectangular block were used to orient the block on the chuck, with the anterior-posterior axis of the
brain perpendicular to the surface of the chuck. Only minor adjustment of the orientation of the chuck
in the microtome was then necessary to cut sections perpendicular to the horizontal and vertical
stereotaxic planes.
The brain was cut at 40 µm thickness sections. Unattached gelatin was brushed away, and the
section was taken up into a drop of PBS on the surface of an acid-cleaned and gelatinized slide.
Out of every three successive sections (4 for the horizontal plane), two (3 for the horizontal plane)
were taken onto a slide designated for staining of Nissl or AChE. If the first two sections were
deemed satisfactory, the third was set aside in ice-cold PBS for parvalbumin immunohistochemistry.
The following three sections were designated for staining of AChE or Nissl, respectively, as per the
protocol of Paxinos and Watson (1986). A detailed protocol of the staining procedures can be found
at www.powmri.edu.au/staff/paxinos.htm
This technique was developed to reliably obtain precisely oriented sections of relatively undistorted
mouse brain in which Nissl- and AChE-stained sections alternated. Fresh or lightly fixed mouse brain
tissue is so soft that it distorts under its own weight, but it assumes its normal shape when supported
in a viscous fluid. Jelled gelatin solution adequately supports the brain during freezing, but the gelatin
causes the sections to curl when they are cut in a freezing microtome. The addition of sodium chloride
to the gelatin solution promotes the formation of fine crystals in the gelatin block so that the
embedding material shatters when sectioned, and can be gently brushed away from the frozen sections.
Freezing must proceed steadily through the long axis of the block. If the whole block is placed directly
into the cooling medium, the outside of the block freezes and forms a rigid shell so that when the brain
expands during freezing, it distorts. Sections were taken up into a drop of PBS to eliminate minute
bubbles which become trapped under the section if sections are thawed directly onto a slide. With
partially fixed mouse brain, the minute bubbles perforate the section when it dries.
The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates 3rd Edition Franklin & Paxinos
Preparation of Images
Photographs of selected sections were made onto 4 x 5 inch Kodak Plus X or AGFA negatives using a
Nikon Multifid photomicroscope, and 20 x 22 inch black and white prints were made of these negatives
on AGFA multigrade photographic paper. The delineations and fiducial marks were hand drawn onto
acetate tracing paper placed over the photographs. The tracings were scanned, and the resulting images
were used as a template for tracing using Adobe Illustrator. For the reproduction of plates as well as for
the DVD, we used images obtained at the Allen Institute by their excellent Microscopy Unit.
Approximately 100 images were taken per section and they were stitched together.
Nomenclature and Abbreviations
There is an obvious need for a stable neuroanatomical nomenclature to accurately and efficiently convey
information between neuroscientists. Despite this, many terms and abbreviations are still used in the
literature to describe a single structure. In some cases, the same term or abbreviation is used for completely
different structures. We urge all researchers to consider the merits of our system of nomenclature because
it is systematic and derived after extensive consultations with neuroanatomy experts. The utility of our
abbreviation system is enhanced by its consistent use in companion atlases of the rat brain (Paxinos and
Watson, 2007), the rhesus monkey brain (Paxinos, Huang, and Toga, 2000), the human brain (Mai et al.,
2004, Paxinos and Huang, 1995), the developing rat brain (Paxinos, Ashwell and Tork, 1994), the
developing mouse brain (Paxinos et al, 2007) and the chick brain (Puelles et al., 2007).
In considering the merit of a particular name over synonyms, we have chosen terms that have been
ratified by modern usage, particularly usage by experts in that field. We have used anglicized versions of
terms rather than older Latinized versions wherever possible, and we have in all but a handful of cases
avoided the use of eponyms.
Neuroscience communities concerned with different systems have developed identical abbreviations for
completely different structures; for example SO may stand for both supraoptic nucleus and superior
olive, SC for suprachiasmatic nucleus and superior colliculus, and IC for inferior colliculus and internal
capsule. An additional complication arises when homologous structures are nonetheless named or
abbreviated differently in different species.
The nomenclature and abbreviations used are those that have been employed in The Rat Brain in
Stereotaxic Coordinates, 6th ed. (Paxinos & Watson, 2007), Atlas of the Developing Rat Nervous System
(Paxinos et al., 1994), Atlas of the Developing Mouse Brain (Paxinos et al., 2007), Chemoarchitectonic
Atlas of the Rat Forebrain (Paxinos et al., 1996b), Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Brainstem (Paxinos
et al., 1999a, b), The Rhesus Monkey Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates (Paxinos et al., 2000), Atlas of the
Human Brainstem (Paxinos & Huang, 1995), and Atlas of the Human Brain (Mai, Asscheuer & Paxinos,
2004). We have made a conscious effort to use identical abbreviations for homologous structures in
various species so that readers do not have to be burdened with a meaningless task of learning different
abbreviations for the same structures. Bowden and Martin (1995) in their atlas of the monkey brain as
well as in NeuroNames used the same principles for construction of abbreviations as we have used here.
Foster (1998) as well as Morin and Wood (2001) also use the same principles and abbreviations.

There are more than 20 ways to abbreviate “accumbens nucleus”: Acb, ACB, acb, NAS, nas, A, a, Ac, ac,
NA, na, AN, an, NAC, nac, ACN, acn, ACU, acu, ACC, and Acc. The user of this atlas is welcome to use
our abbreviation Acb, the same abbreviation we used in all our other atlases.
The principles used in the construction of abbreviations are the same as those used to derive the
abbreviations for the elements of the Periodic Table and for the word acetylcholinesterase (AChE).
1. The abbreviations represent the order of words as spoken in English (e.g., DLG = dorsal lateral
geniculate nucleus).
2. Capital letters represent nuclei, and lower case letters represent fiber tracts. Thus, the letter “N” has
not been used to denote nuclei, and the letter “t” has not been used to denote fiber tracts.
3. The general principle used in the abbreviations of the names of elements in the periodic table was
followed: the capital letter representing the first letter of a word in a nucleus is followed by the lower
case letter most characteristic of that word (not necessarily the second letter; e.g., Mg = magnesium;
Rt = reticular thalamic nucleus).
4. Compound names of nuclei have a capital letter for each part (e.g., LPGi = lateral
paragigantocellular nucleus).
5. If a word occurs in the names of a number of structures, it is usually given the same abbreviation
(e.g., Rt = reticular thalamus nucleus; RtTg = reticulotegmental nucleus of the pons). Exceptions to
this rule are made for well-established abbreviations such as VTA.
6. Abbreviations of brain regions are omitted where the identity of the region in question is clear from
its position (CM = central medial thalamic nucleus; not CMTh).
7. Arabic numerals are used instead of Roman numerals in identifying (a) cranial nerves and nuclei
(as in the Berman, 1968, atlas), and (b) layers of the spinal cord. While the spoken meaning is the
same, the detection threshold is lower, ambiguity is reduced, and they are easier to position in small
spaces available on diagrams.
Abbreviations representing nuclei and cortical regions are shown in uppercase characters on the left
side of the figures, but often also on the right side for clarity. Fiber tracts and fissures are abbreviated
in lowercase characters and are shown on the right side of the figures.

Drawings
It was thought that the drawings would be more informative if they were not stylized, and for this
reason, with the exception of small adjustments to distorted midlines and cortex, the drawings depict
the asymmetries present in the sections.When part of a section was missing or severely distorted, it was
drawn in after consideration of sections obtained from other brains.
However, it should be noted that in the horizontal drawings the drawings were made on the right side
of the brain and the drawing of the left hemisphere is a mirror image with slight adjustments to
accommodate asymmetries.
Coronal Plane
The large number at the bottom left of each figure shows the anteroposterior distance of the
corresponding plate from the vertical plane passing through the interaural line. The large number at
the bottom right shows the anteroposterior distance of the plate from bregma. The numbers on the left
margin show the dorsoventral distance from the horizontal plane passing through the interaural line.
The numbers on the right margin show the dorsoventral distance in mm from the horizontal plane
passing through bregma and lambda on the surface of the skull. The numbers on the top and bottom
margins show the distance in mm of structures from the midline.
Sagittal Plane
The large number at the bottom left of each drawing shows the distance of the corresponding plate
from the midline. The numbers on the left margin show in mm the dorsoventral distance from the
horizontal plane passing through the interaural line. The numbers on the right margin show the
dorsoventral distance from the horizontal plane passing through bregma and lambda on the surface of
the skull. The numbers on the bottom margin show the anteroposterior distance from the coronal plane
passing through the interaural line. The numbers on the top margin show the anteroposterior distance
from the coronal plane passing through bregma.
Horizontal Plane
In each of the horizontal drawings, the large number at the bottom left shows the distance in mm of
the section above the horizontal plane passing through the interaural line. The large number at top
right shows the distance of the plate below a horizontal plane passing through bregma. The small
numbers on the left and right margins show distance from the midline sagittal plane. The numbers on
the top margin show the anteroposterior distance from the vertical plane passing through bregma. The
numbers on bottom margin show the anteroposterior distance from the vertical plane passing through
the interaural line. Note that the drawing of the left hemisphere is a mirror image of the drawing of the
right side.

for the delineation of structures presented in the earlier editions (e.g. Paxinos and Watson, 1986).
previously called fundus striati resembles the striatum proper in some respects and the accumbens
shell in others. Given that the use of the term fundus striati creates problems with primate homologues,
we followed the advice of George Alheid and called it the lateral accumbens shell. The remaining
accumbens is delineated in accordance with Zaborszky et al., (1985) and Heimer et al., (1991).

We followed Alheid et al., (1995) in the identification of the interstitial nucleus of the posterior limb
of the anterior commissure (IPAC).
Globus Pallidus and Entopeduncular Nucleus
We have reverted to the simple term globus pallidus to refer to the area that is sometimes described as
the external or lateral part of globus pallidus, and we have reverted to the term endopeduncular nucleus
to refer to the area we previously labelled as the internal or medial globus pallidus.
Lateral stripe of the striatum (LSS)
LSS is a dense band of cells in cresly violet stained sections. The area is negative in calbindin sections
and lighter stained than the LAcbSh and striatum in TH (the distinction is very clear in Fig. 87 of
Paxinos et al., 1999a).
Navicular nucleus (Nv)
Paxinos and Watson (2007) renamed the area in the basal forebrain which we previously called the
semilunar nucleus. The reason is that the name semilunar nucleus has priority in the avian literature
and it refers to a completely different structure in birds. The existence of the semilunar nucleus was
established on the basis of NADPHdiaphorase histochemistry (Paxinos et al., 1999a). We acknowledge
assistance of R. Harlan and P-Y. Wang in the identification of this structure (Ahima and Harlan, 1990;
Wang and Zhang, 1995).
Dorsal and ventral parts of the claustrum (DCl and VCl)
We have identified distinct dorsal and ventral parts of the claustrum in AChE stained sections. The
dorsal part is positive for AChE and the ventral part is negative.
Substantia nigra
We used the primate terminology for the dorsal and ventral tiers of the substantia nigra and also for the
part of the VTA which is called the parabrachial pigmented nucleus. The names of the primate SN
subdivisions were developed earlier than those subsequently used in rodent studies, and the identified
primate subdivisions are consistent with the degeneration patterns seen in Parkinson’s disease (Glenda
Halliday, personal communication, 2004). The reticular part of the substantia nigra can be divided into
a ventrolateral and a dorsomedial component on the basis of parvalbumin and calbindin distribution
(Paxinos et al., 1999b). The remainder of the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental area were
delineated according to the work of McRitchie et al., (1996).
Ventral Tegmental Area
We have identified the rat homologue of the human parapeduncular nucleus (Paxinos & Huang, 1995)
but have named it the parainterfascicular nucleus. We suggest that the new term be also used for the
human given its more descriptive nature. With the addition of the parainterfascicular term, the entire
VTA can be represented by specifically named component parts. This avoids the problem of previous
editions of this atlas where the label VTA was placed only on what we now call parainterfascicular
nucleus, giving the impression that it alone was the whole of the VTA. The VTA in our view consists of
the paranigral nucleus (PN), the parainterfascicular nucleus (PIF), the parabrachial pigmented nucleus
(PBP), and the rostral VTA (VTAR).
The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates 3rd Edition Franklin & Paxinos
Septum, Hypothalamus, and Neurosecretory Nuclei
The preoptic area is not part of the hypothalamus but of the telencephalon (see Puelles et al., 2007). We
have renamed the ventromedial and the ventrolateral preoptic nuclei to anteromedial and anterolateral
preoptic nuclei (see The Chick Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates for rationale related to the brain axis).
Refer to Simerly (2004), Armstrong (2004), Risold (2004), and Oldfield and McKinley (2004) for a
general description of these structures. Jutting ventrolaterally from the anterodorsal preoptic nucleus
is a strip which is negative for parvalbumin which we have called the alar nucleus. The alar nucleus
displays substance P positive cell bodies but little reactivity in its neuropil (Larsen, 1992). In the
preoptic area we followed Simerly (2004) and Simerly et al., (1984) except for the identification of the
ventromedial and ventrolateral preoptic nuclei, for which we followed Elmquist et al., (1996) and Sherin
et al., (1996). The compact part of the medial preoptic nucleus is negative for substance P (Harding
et al., 2004).
In the lateral hypothalamus we identified a ventrolateral hypothalamic nucleus on the basis of NADPH-
diaphorase reactivity (Paxinos et al., 1999a). This nucleus is caudal to the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus
and dorsal to the supraoptic nucleus. The ventral part of dorsomedial nucleus is marked by densely stained
cell bodies and terminals in NADPHdiaphorase preparations (Paxinos et al., 1999a). The gemini nucleus is
a conspicuous nest of NADPHdiaphorase positive cell bodies (Paxinos et al., 1999a). The parasubthalamic
nucleus is present in the rat (Wang and Zhang, 1995), but it is not as impressive as the homologous
structure seen in the mouse brain (Paxinos and Franklin, 2003). The arcuate nucleus was delineated
according to the work of Magoul et al., (1994). See Paxinos and Watson (1986) for the identification of
the striohypothalamic, magnocellular lateral hypothalamic, terete, and subincertal nuclei.
Lateral hypothalamus (PLH, TuLH, PeFLH, JPLH)
We have given names to different regions that are now recognized as comprising the lateral
hypothalamus. The lateral hypothalamus has traditionally been defined as the area lateral to the fornix.
However, the features characteristic of lateral hypothalamus (particularly the population of large cells)
are not limited to the area lateral to the fornix. The orexin and hypocretin containing cells are not
confined to the classically defined LH area, but are also found medial to the fornix. Swanson (2004)
correctly extended the lateral hypothalamus medial to the fornix, but still identified the fornix as
another boundary from where various areas emanate. The region both medial and lateral to the fornix
when stimulated electrically induces attack by a cat on a rodent (Paxinos, Bandler and Flynn,
unpublished observations), indicating that the PeFLH behaves in a unitary fashion as it concerns this
behavior. The components of the lateral hypothalamus in our scheme are as follows:
• PLH – peduncular part of the lateral hypothalamus
• TuLH – tuberal part of the lateral hypothalamus
• PeFLH – perifornical part of the lateral hypothalamus
• JPLH – juxtaparaventricular part of the lateral hypothalamus

Posterior hypothalamus, dorsal area (PHD)
This is an area previously identified as PHA in our atlas.
Arcuate nucleus (ArcMP)
ArcMP is AChE positive and this distinguishes it from DM.
Episupraoptic nucleus (ESO)
Paxinos and Watson (2007) named this nucleus on the basis of its location. Its rostral pole begins at the
caudal pole of the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus; ESO can be found in Figs 39-45.
Paraterete nucleus (PTe)
This nucleus is located within the ventrolateral hypothalamic tract (Swanson, 2004) and rostral, dorsal
and lateral to the terete hypothalamic nucleus.
Amygdala and Bed Nucleus of Stria Terminalis
Refer to de Olmos et al.,(2004) for a general description of the amygdala and the bed nucleus of the
stria terminalis. The anterodorsal part of the medial nucleus of the amygdala and the basomedial
nucleus are defined by the presence of intense NADPH-diaphorase reactivity (Paxinos et al., 1999a).
The lateral part of the central nucleus of the amygdala is marked by the presence of tyrosine hydroxylase
fibers and AChE negativity (Paxinos et al., 1999a).
Rostral amygdalopiriform area (RAPir)
The rostral amygdalopiriform area is a distinct region between PLCo and Pir has a dense layer 2 in
lateral two thirds but much less dense in medial third. This is the area which Swanson (2004) calls the
amygdalocortical area, a term which we did not adopt because it does not fit well with the names we
had already given to surrounding areas.
Thalamus
Refer to Groenewegen and Witter (2004) for a general description of thalamic nuclei. See Paxinos and
Watson (1986) for the identification of the ethmoid, retroethmoid, subgeniculate, and precommissural
nuclei. We have reverted to the use of the term ventral posterior nucleus, parvicellular part (Paxinos and
Watson, 1982) for the nucleus that we previously named the gustatory nucleus of the thalamus (Paxinos
and Watson, 1986). We made this change on the advice of Clifford Saper that gustatory input is more
medial in this nucleus, and autonomic-related inputs can be found at more lateral parts of this structure
(Yasui et al., 1989).
Retroreuniens area (RRe)
We gave the name RRe to a region dorsal to the PH, ventral to CM, and medial to VPPC and SPF.
Caudally, RRe merges with the periventricular gray matter.
Paraxiphoid (PaXi)
The paraxiphoid nucleus (PaXi) lies between the xiphoid nucleus (Xi) of the thalamus medially and the
zona incerta laterally. It appears to be part of a belt separating hypothalamus from thalamus. In Fig 264
of Paxinos et al., 1999a, an NADPH positive belt can be seen to extend from the reticular nucleus to
zona incerta and paraxiphoid.
The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates 3rd Edition Franklin & Paxinos
Ventral limitans thalamic nucleus (VLi)
This nucleus is a thin sheet between subparafascicular, parvicellular part and the medial lemniscus.
We so named it to complement the posterior limitans thalamic nucleus. Palkovits has observed CGRP
positivity in this nucleus (Palkovits, personal communication, 2004).
Hippocampal Region
Refer to Witter and Amaral (2004) for a general description of the hippocampal region.
We now distinguish a dorsal and a ventral subiculum. We have labeled the transition area of dorsal and
ventral subiculum as STr. We have drawn the borders of the presubiculum and parasubiculum so as to
reach the white matter as explained in Haug (1976) and Mulders et al.,(1997).
The entorhinal parcellation scheme of Insausti et al.,(1997) is appealing because each of the
cytoarchitecturally distinct divisions has a different pattern of connections as they detail in their paper.
The parcellation recognizes that the medial and lateral sectors of the entorhinal area are separated by
two intermediate sectors obvious in our Creslyl violet preparations. Insausti et al.,specifically identify
six entorhinal fields: (1) an amygdalopiriform cortex which they termed amygdalo-entorhinal transition
field; (2) a medial entorhinal field (MEnt) equivalent to the ventromedial entorhinal area of Krettek and
Price (1977); (3) a caudomedial entorhinal field (CEnt), which is the classic medial entorhinal area;
(4) a ventral intermediate entorhinal field (VIEnt) equivalent to the caudal ventrolateral entorhinal field
of Krettek and Price (1977); (5) a dorsal intermediate entorhinal field (DIEnt); and (6) a dorsolateral
entorhinal field (DLEnt). The last two fields together are equivalent to the dorsolateral entorhinal field
of Krettek and Price (1977). A similar scheme for the entorhinal cortex in the mouse was used by Van
Groen (2001).
The postsubicular area was identified on the basis of the work of Van Groen et al.,(1992).
Cerebral Cortex
There have been two comprehensive cortical parcellation schemes in recent decades. The first notable
one was presented by Zilles (1985) and was constructed on the original stained sections of the earlier
editions of our atlas. In the second edition of our atlas we used the cortical parcellations of Zilles
(1985). The second comprehensive cortical delineation scheme was presented by Swanson (2004).
The Zilles (1985) delineations differ significantly from the Swanson (1992, 2004) scheme. The atlas of
chemical markers (Paxinos et al., 1999a,b) enabled us to make a decision on the strengths of the two
schemes. On this basis we have retained many of the features of the sensory, motor, and insular areas
proposed by Zilles (1985). However, we have curtailed the rostral spread of Zilles’s occipital areas and
delineated the sensory representation of the trunk region and temporal association area in line with
Swanson (2004).
We have retained the perirhinal cortex at caudal levels (along with Zilles, 1985) because there is a
characteristic NADPH-diaphorase reactivity associated with this area. Palomero-Gallagher and Zilles
(2004) have recently completed a substantial revision of their earlier plan, especially in the non-sensory
parietal regions, and we have followed their lead. Strong parvalbumin immunoreactivity is present in
layer 4 of the primary somatosensory cortex. SMI-32 immunoreactivity formed distinctive patches in
layer 4 of the barrel field and forelimb and hindlimb region.

MBSC3 Hardcover p1-30.qxp 18/6/07 2:28 PM Page XV
The primary auditory area was identified on the basis of reduced calbindin immunoreactivity in the
deep layers. All the auditory areas were marked by the presence of SMI- 32 positive cells in the
superficial layers ((Paxinos et al., 1999a,b).
AChE marked the location of the prelimbic and agranular insular cortices. NADPH-diaphorase assisted
in defining the agranular insular, perirhinal, and retrosplenial granular cortices. Additionally, NADPH-
diaphorase immunoreactivity indicated the ventral part of the medial entorhinal cortex. Calretinin
immunoreactivity assisted in delineation of the lateral entorhinal cortex where the outer part of layer
one is densely stained.
The dorsolateral orbital cortex was delineated in accordance with the work of Ray and Price (1992).
We use the term frontal association cortex for the frontal cortex that others allocated to the secondary
motor cortex (Swanson, 2004; Zilles, 1985). This designation is in agreement with microstimulation
data (Neafsey et al., 1986).
Retrosplenial cortex (RSD and RSG)
The retrosplenial dysgranular cortex (RSD) was previously named by us the retrosplenial agranular
cortex, but we have changed it on the advice of Brent Vogt. The retrosplenial granular cortex (RSG) is
divided into three areas a, b, and c. Some authors refer to the RSG as area 24, according to the original
scheme of Brodmann.
Reticular Formation
Refer to Jones (1995) for a general description of the reticular formation. The intermediate reticular
zone was first identified in the rat (Paxinos and Watson, 1986), but is seen to advantage in the human
brain (Paxinos and Huang, 1995). The intermediate reticular zone at levels of the caudal pole of the
facial nerve nucleus is marked by NADPH-diaphorase positive cells. The lateral paragigantocellular
nucleus is conspicuous in NADPH-diaphorase preparations (Paxinos et al., 1999b).
We have abandoned the term deep mesencephalic nucleus (DpMe) in favour of neuromeric
nomenclature from the avian literature (Puelles et al., 2007). We have named this and other parts of the
reticular formation and parts of the periaqueductal gray according to their neuromeric location (p1PAG
in prosomere 1, mRt and mPAG in the mesencephalon, isRt in the isthmus, r1Rt in rhombomere 1).
Periaqueductal and Periventricular Gray
Refer to Keay and Bandler (2004) for a general description of the periaqueductal gray. The boundaries
of periaqueductal gray cell columns were drawn according to Carrive (1993), Carrive and Paxinos
(1994), and Paxinos and Huang (1995). We identify the rodent homologue of the human pleoglial
periaqueductal gray in Figs 77-80. Two nuclei lateral to the central gray pars alpha were identified on the
basis of SMI-32 immunoreactivity – central gray pars beta and central gray pars gamma (Paxinos et al.,
1999b).
Lithoid nucleus (Li)
We have named this nucleus for the Greek word for stone-like (like lithos throw in ancient Olympics).
Li is a prominent group of large cells in the dorsal part of the rostral PVG. While generally ovoid in
cross section, the medial and lateral sides are in Figures 71-73 parallel to each other. Li lies medial to
The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates 3rd Edition Franklin & Paxinos
MCPC caudally, and medial to RPF rostrally. It is ventral to the PrC and dorsal to the fasciclus
retroflexus. More caudally, it is dorsal to Dk. It can be readily identified in a horizontal section
(Fig 105, Paxinos and Watson, 1997).
Tegmental Nuclei
For the identification of the anterior tegmental, microcellular tegmental, subpeducular tegmental,
rhabdoid, and epirubrospinal nuclei, see Paxinos and Watson (1986).
We have followed Puelles et al (2007) and Paxinos and Watson (2007) in renaming the
pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus to pedunculotegmental nucleus for a compelling reason: the
nucleus belongs to rhombomere 1 and not the pons. While “a rose by any other name” indeed smells
as sweet, a nucleus by any other name is not as helpful. We have taken the rare action of altering a name
because if a nucleus does not belong to the pons it should not be called pontine.
Reticular tegmental nucleus, L part (RtTgL)
The rat homologue of the subnucleus L of the LtRt nucleus Olzewski and Baxter (1954) can been
identified (see also Paxinos and Huang, 1995).
Raphe Nuclei
We identified the raphe nuclei on the basis of 5-hydroxytryptamine sections prepared by G. Halliday
and I. Tork (see also Harding et al., 2004). We identified the raphe interpositus nucleus on the basis of
the work of Buttner-Ennever et al.,(1988).
The Isthmus Separates the Mesencephalon from the Rhombencephalon
A major anatomical region is the isthmus. It is often forgotten and the midbrain is shown to abut the
hindbrain with no intervening isthmus. Given the presence of the isthmic organizer and the now known
different expression (Fgf8 and Lmx2b in the isthmus) the isthmus has to be considered a separate part
of the brain lying between the midbrain and the first rhombomere. Areas of the isthmus include the
trochlear nucleus, the parabigeminal nucleus, the microcellular tegmental nucleus, caudal linear
nucleus, the rostral part of the dorsal raphe, caudal parts of the substantia nigra and VTA, the dorsal
nucleus of the lateral lemniscus and specific parts of the reticular formation and the PAG. The reader is
referred to Puelles et al.,(2007) for classification of nuclei according to their neuromeric origin.
Locus Coeruleus and Brainstem Catecholamine Cell Groups
Refer to Aston-Jones (2004) for the delineation of the locus coeruleus. We delineated the catecholamine
cell groups by following Hökfelt et al., (1984) with assistance from our own tyrosine hydroxylase
preparations (Paxinos et al., 1999b).

Brainstem Nuclei Associated with Taste, Respiratory, Cardiovascular
and Other Autonomic Functions
Refer to Lundy and Norgren (2004) for a general description of these nuclei.
Solitary Nucleus
The posterior part of the solitary nucleus was delineated in accordance with the work of Whitehead
(1990), Herbert et al.,(1990), McRitchie (1992), and Altschuler et al.,(1989). The rostral part of the
nucleus was difficult to delineate, but we recognize a rostrolateral subnucleus on the basis of NADPH-
diaphorase positivity.
Medullary respiratory groups and the Botzinger complex
These areas were delineated in accordance with Ellenberger et al.,(1990), Kanjhan et al.,(1995), and Cox
and Halliday (1993).
Parabrachial nucleus
The parabrachial nucleus is delineated in accordance with Fulwiler and Saper (1984), Herbert et al.,
(1990), Whitehead (1990), and Herbert and Saper (1990). The external part of the lateral parabrachial
nucleus and medial parabrachial nucleus are marked by NADPH-diaphorase positive cells and fibers
(Paxinos et al., 1999b).
Oromotor Nuclei
Refer to Travers (2004) for a description of the oromotor nuclei.
Precerebellar Nuclei and Red Nucleus
Refer to Ruigrok (2004) for a general description of these structures. Within what has been previously
called the pararubral area there is a circumscribed cell group which we called the pararubral nucleus.
We have named the large cells above the lateral lemniscus the epilemniscal nucleus (Paxinos et al.,
1999b).
Cerebellum
The identification of lobules, fissures, and deep cerebellar nuclei is based on the work of Voogd (2004)
and Swanson (2004).
Somatosensory System
Refer to Tracey (2004b) for a general description of the somatosensory system. The general basis of
delineation of these structures is described in Paxinos and Watson (1997). However, we followed
Marfurt and Rajchert (1991) for the borders of the spinal trigeminal nucleus.
Trigeminal transition zone (5Tr)
Paxinos and Watson (2007) identified the NADPH-diaphorase positive area medial to the principal
sensory trigeminal nucleus as the 5Tr given it juxtaposition between the trigeminal and the parabrachial
nuclei.
The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates 3rd Edition Franklin & Paxinos
The trigeminosolitary zone (5Sol)
The trigeminosolitary zone commences caudal to the trigeminal transition zone, and extends as far
caudal as the level of the area postrema. The rostral part of this zone was previously identified by
Paxinos and Huang (1995) in the human and named the subsolitary nucleus. We note that in the
medulla, much like the in thalamus (VPM, VPPC – Lundy and Norgren, 2004), there is a progression of
functional areas from the trigeminal concerned with somatosensory function to the solitary concerned
with gustatory function from receptors of the same peripheral structures.
Matrix (Mx)
Paxinos and Huang (1995) identified in the human the pericuneate and peritrigeminal matrix.
We observed a similar structure in the rat and identified it as the residual region after the solitary,
trigeminosolitary, cuneate and parvicellular reticular nuclei are accounted for.
Cuneate nucleus, rotund part (CuR)
We note that as in primates, the rat has a rotund part in the cuneate nucleus which almost certainly
represents the forepaw area.
Visual System
Refer to Sefton et al.,(2004) for a general description of the visual system. The ventral tegmental visual
relay zone was identified on the basis of the work of Giolli et al.,(1985). The intergeniculate leaf was
delineated on the basis of the work of Morin and Blanchard (1995).
Auditory System
Refer to Malmierca and Merchan (2004) for a general description of the auditory system. We used Faye-
Lund and Osen (1985) as well as Malmierca and Merchan (2004) for the identification of areas of the
inferior colliculus. The medial geniculate was delineated according to the work of LeDoux et al.,(1985).
The nucleus of the central acoustic tract has been identified in the cat, and Ellen Covey has delineated
this structure in The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates (2007). For additional details on the basis of
delineation of the components of the auditory system refer to Paxinos and Watson (1986).
Nucleus of the commissure of the inferior colliculus (CIC)
The commissure of the inferior colliculus is populated by many cells. On the advice of Ellen Covey we
have named this the nucleus of the commissure of the inferior colliculus.
Dorsal cochlear nucleus
We have adopted new abbreviations for the layers of the dorsal cochlear nucleus: DCDp is the dorsal
cochlear deep core; DCFu is the dorsal cochlear fusiform layer; DCMo is the dorsal cochlear molecular
layer.
