OPRM1-CRE Rats: Lateral Habenula Histology Analysis

Histology images of the lateral habenula brain region from OPRM1-CRE rats. The dataset was contributed by author Alexis Salcido and is hosted on the Harvard Dataverse platform. It was last updated on May 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Validate OPRM1-CRE expression patterns in the lateral habenula based on histology images.
• Compare lateral habenula morphology across different experimental conditions.
• Train image segmentation models to identify the lateral habenula region in brain sections.

Strengths

• Hosted on the Harvard Dataverse platform, which suggests a degree of institutional oversight.
• Focuses on a specific, well-defined brain region (lateral habenula) and genetic model (OPRM1-CRE rats).

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.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
