A three-dimensional stereotaxic MRI brain atlas of the cichlid fish Oreochromis mossambicus.
The African cichlid Oreochromis mossambicus (Mozambique tilapia) has been used as a model system in a wide range of behavioural and neurobiological studies. The increasing number of genetic tools available for this species, together with the emerging interest in its use for neurobiological studies,...
