Structures · 316 fine regions

Regions the probe crosses are highlighted automatically. Click any region in the lists to pin/zoom it.

How to use

Drag empty space = orbit · wheel = zoom · Shift‑drag = pan.
Click the brain to set the entry point on the surface.
Drag the orange tip ball to aim the probe & set depth.
Drag the cyan entry ball to slide the entry across the surface.

Geometry: Allen Institute CCFv3 structure meshes (decimated). Bregma at CCF (AP 5400, DV 440, ML 5700 µm). Qiu2018 live‑brain scaling AP×1.031, ML×0.952, DV×0.885 with −5° pitch. Estimates only — verify against your stereotaxic atlas.
Click the brain to drop the entry, then drag the orange tip to aim.
