Images and analysis for rabies-mediated monosynaptic tracing of strio-Gpi-LHb and strio-daSNc pathways. The dataset was contributed by author Salcido, Alexis and is hosted on the Harvard Dataverse platform. It was last updated on June 6, 2026.
Use Cases
- Mapping monosynaptic inputs to striatal projection neurons based on rabies-mediated tracing.
- Analyzing connectivity patterns between striosomes and the globus pallidus internus (Gpi) and lateral habenula (LHb).
- Studying the wiring between striosomes and dopaminergic substantia nigra pars compacta (daSNc) neurons.
- Validating computational models of basal ganglia pathways using empirical anatomical data.
Strengths
- Focuses on specific neural pathways (strio-Gpi-LHb and strio-daSNc) using a precise monosynaptic tracing method.
- Includes both raw images and derived analysis, as stated in the description.
- Hosted on the authoritative Harvard Dataverse platform.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- The scale of the dataset (row count, file size) is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Provenance
