    •	Atlas Plates of Phyllostomus discolor.pdf
			Plates of the brain atlas provide high-resolution images of frontal sections alternately 
            stained for cell bodies (Nissl) and myelinated fibers (Gallyas) at 49 rostrocaudal levels
            at intervals of 350 µm in stereotaxic coordinates derived from a CT scan.

            Version of the brain atlas plates at reduced resolution.
    
    •	Abbreviation Index of Phy-atlas.pdf

            High-resolution images of a series of Phyllostomus discolor brain sections. The 40 µm thick sections 
            are alternately stained for NADPH-diaphorase, Acetylcholine-esterase and Nissl. Sections are 
            uncorrected for shrinkage. Each set of 3 sections iterates at 160 µm anterior-posterior distance. 
            The series was cut at an angle slightly deviating from that of the atlas brain.
