Formatted abstract The advent of mammalian gene engineering and genetically modified mouse models has led to renewed
interest in developing resources for referencing and quantitative analysis of mouse brain anatomy. In this
study, we used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for quantitative characterization of anatomical phenotypes
in the developing mouse brain. As an anatomical reference for neuroscience research using mouse models,
this paper presents DTI based atlases of ex vivo C57BL/6 mouse brains at several developmental stages. The
atlas complements existing histology and MRI-based atlases by providing users access to threedimensional,
high-resolution images of the developing mouse brain, with distinct tissue contrasts and
segmentations of major gray matter and white matter structures. The usefulness of the atlas and database
was demonstrated by quantitative measurements of the development of major gray matter and white
matter structures. Population average images of the mouse brain at several postnatal stages were created
using large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping and their anatomical variations were quantitatively
characterized. The atlas and database enhance our ability to examine the neuroanatomy in normal or
genetically engineered mouse strains and mouse models of neurological diseases.
