This study compares the cytoarchitectonic parcellation of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in the mouse as presented in publications that are commonly used for identifying brain areas. Agreement was found to be greater for boundaries in the medial PFC than in the lateral PFC and lowest for those in the orbital areas of the PFC. In this review, we explain and illustrate in a selected series of photographs and stereotactic pictures the differences in location and terminology of the different prefrontal cortical areas. The significance of cytoarchitectonic parcellation is discussed.
本研究比较了小鼠前额叶皮质(PFC)的细胞构筑分区,这些分区来自常用于识别脑区的出版物。结果发现,内侧PFC边界的一致性高于外侧PFC,而PFC眶区边界的一致性最低。在这篇综述中,我们通过一系列选定的照片和立体定位图片来解释和说明不同前额叶皮质区域在位置和术语上的差异。我们还讨论了细胞构筑分区的意义。
