Comparative neuroanatomy of the lumbosacral spinal cord of the rat, cat, pig, monkey, and human
Abstract The overall goal of this work was to create a high-resolution MRI atlas of the lumbosacral enlargement of the spinal cord of the rat (Sprague–Dawley), cat, domestic pig, rhesus monkey, and human. These species were chosen because they are commonly used in basic and translational research in...
