Stereotaxic Brain Atlas of the Egyptian Fruit Bat
()
About this ebook
The Stereotaxic Brain Atlas of the Egyptian Fruit Bat provides the first stereotaxic atlas of the brain of the Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus), an emerging model in neuroscience. This atlas contains coronal brain sections stained with cresyl violet (Nissl), AChE, and Parvalbumin – all stereotaxically calibrated. It will serve the needs of any neuroscientist who wishes to work with these bats – allowing to precisely target specific brain areas for electrophysiology, optogenetics, pharmacology, and lesioning. More broadly, this atlas will be useful to all neuroscientists working with bats, as it delineates many brain regions that were not delineated so far in any bat species. Finally, this atlas will provide a useful resource for researchers interested in comparative neuroanatomy of the mammalian brain.
- Provides detailed and accurate stereotaxic coverage of the Egyptian fruit bat forebrain
- Contains 87 plates of coronal sections of adult Egyptian fruit bats, each with one Nissl-stained hemisphere and the other stained either for AChE or Parvalbumin
- Delineates brain structures in the bat brain
- Serves as an essential tool for directing electrophysiology, imaging, optogenetics, pharmacology and lesioning in Egyptian fruit bats, and bats more generally
- Provides a rich resource for comparative neuroanatomy of the mammalian brain

Acknowledgments
We thank Eva Himovichi for help in initial histological processing and photography, and Mariana Melcón for initial rotation and alignment of the plates. Wairimu Gatome performed most of the tract-tracing injections in the hippocampal formation, on a large group of 17 bats, which served as a basis for delineating the hippocampal formation substructures; Heidi Kleven analyzed these track-tracing data and contributed to the delineations. Bente Jacobsen contributed to the preparation of the Appendixes. Saikat Ray performed tract-tracing injections in three bats and also stained prefrontal cortex sections with Nissl, AChE, WFS1, and NNat, and used these to delineate prefrontal subfields—cingulate, prelimbic, and infralimbic cortices; Efrat Solomon assisted him with processing these brains. We thank Inbal Biton for high-resolution MRI images taken from a separate individual bat, which aided in 3D reconstructions of the hippocampal formation (Appendix 6). We thank Michael Okun, Yonatan Katz, and Ilan Lampl
