PREFACE
This atlas is designed to support research in neuroscience, gene manipulation, molecular biology and neurotoxicology. For researchers unfamiliar with the developing mouse brain, full sections are shown to aid in the orientation and comparison to their own sections. This atlas provides complete sets of sagittal, coronal and horizontal sections, useful when determining which plane of sectioning may be most advantageous for a particular study. For instance, sagittal and horizontal sections are well suited for a quick scan of a brain, while coronal sections provide more detailed information. In the color images the hematoxylin stain provides excellent information on neurons at different stages of development, i.e., neuroblasts in ventricular zones are darkly
stained while maturing neurons in intermediate zones are lightly stained. In contrast, developing pathways and their glial scaffolding are stained deeply pink with eosin. Regions of particular developmental interest, for example the eye, cranial nerve nuclei, or ganglia, are photographed at higher power to show different stages of development. Special attention has been given to ventricular zones, the origin of all brain structures, in order to assist tracking cells carrying a specific gene. For instance, using the bacterial artificial chromosome vector method of producing transgenic mice (Nature 425: 917-925, 2003), the development of the neurons in a gene specific nucleus could be traced back to two progenitor cell in a related ventricular zone.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I want to acknowledge my autistic son Eric, whose continued struggle with his developmental disabilities inspired me to study normal and abnormal brain development in order to contribute to the research into the puzzle of autism. Also I want to thank my graduate advisors, Drs. Jean Lauder and Kathy Sulik who supported and encouraged me as an adult student to begin this work. Part of my Ph. D. dissertation resulted in the first prenatal mouse brain atlas (Atlas of the Prenatal Mouse Brain, Uta B. Schambra, Jean M. Lauder and Jerry Silver, Academic Press, 1992). That effort reflected my still growing knowledge of the developing mouse brain. I trust that the revisions in this new brain atlas reflect the most recent knowledge in the field of murine developmental neuroanatomy. I am greatly indebted and thankful to my assistant, Barbara A. Connelly, for her outstanding technical work in preparation of the computer drawings from my tracings. She skillfully and patiently dealt with the never-ending stream of annotations, and prepared the manuscript and DVD for publication. I particularly appreciate her tireless and good-natured help throughout this project.
I also wish to express my gratitude to Brunhilde Tober-Meyer, DVM, MS, who out of friendship gave up golden days of retirement to tackle the unwieldy index (13,000+ entries were included). Her positive attitude towards this project and meticulous work was a great relief to me. I am very thankful for her help. I thank the Pathology Department at East Tennessee State University for the permission to use their Shandon Veristain 24-4 automated hematoxylin and eosin stainer to process the large number of slides for this project. This work was supported by the Dean of the Quillen College of Medicine and the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at East Tennessee State University and by Springer Science + Business Media, LLC. Thanks for their encouragement and patience to the editorial and production staff at Springer, Joseph Burns, Ann Avouris, Deborah Doherty and Laurin Becker. Last, but not least, I want to recognize the excellent works by Altman and Bayer, Paxinos et al., Jacobowitz and Abbott, and Kaufman (see reference list) whose publications helped me tremendously in my understanding of the developing rodent brain.

INTRODUCTION
This Prenatal Mouse Brain Atlas provides comprehensive documentation of mouse brain development until shortly before birth (gestational day (GD) 19.5 average). It follows brain development from early discernable structures in embryonic heads on GD 12 and GD 14 to more clearly defined structures in fetal brains on GD 16 and GD 18. For additional information, sections are presented in the three cardinal planes, sagittal, coronal and horizontal. Genetic or toxicological manipulations may result in damaged offspring which are recognized by the mouse dams and cannibalized within the first few days. This makes studying the effects of manipulation in postnatal animals problematic, thus giving importance to a prenatal mouse brain atlas.
For ease of use, we only use unabbreviated annotations. Structures are identified with terms used in adult animals even if they are only an anlage or a precursor. Tracts are often labeled even though axons have not grown along the brightly eosin stained glial pathway. For convenience, a DVD is provided which contains all color images, matching drawings and the drawings superimposed on the images. This DVD provides an additional tool for the researcher who may want to print specific pages for further use. The web site, Electronic Prenatal Mouse Brain Atlas, www.epmba.org, provides expanded sets of annotated GD 12 and GD 16 coronal images, which can be viewed in high magnification. The GD 12 coronal set can also be viewed as 3D presentation, and can be virtually sectioned at different planes.

METHODS
The widely used inbred mouse strain, C57Bl/6J (The Jackson Laboratories), was chosen for preparation of this atlas. Ten- to 20week-old females were time-mated from 9 to 10 am. The day a copulation plug was found was considered gestational day (GD) 0. At the time of sacrifice (10 am) on GD 12, 14, 16, or 18, pregnant dams were anesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection of chloral hydrate (350 mg/kg body weight). Embryos/fetuses were removed from the uterus, and their crown-rump length (CRL) recorded. Specimen of average CRL were chosen as follows: GD 12, 8 mm; GD 14, 12 mm; GD 16, 15 mm; and GD 18, 21 mm. GD 12 embryos were immersed in Bouin’s fixative for 24 hrs, and then rinsed in 70% ethanol for 1 week. GD 14 embryos and GD 16 and GD 18 fetuses were perfused transcardially at room temperature, first with 5 ml of 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and then for 5 to 10 min (depending on size) with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS using a Masterflex pump (flow rate 0.1 ml/min). Following perfusion, whole heads (GD 14) or brains (GD 16, GD 18) were immersed overnight in the same fixative at 4°C, and then washed for two days in several changes of PBS. Specimens with similar CRL were selected and dehydrated in an ascending series of ethanols and xylenes. For embedding in Paraplast, specimens were placed on their sides for sagittal, with faces down for coronal, on their ventral surfaces for horizontal sectioning. Sagittal, coronal and horizontal sections were then cut at 10 ȝm with a rotary microtome. Because of sidewise rotation of the GD 12 embryos and the mesencepalic and pontine flexures, sections are not always strictly parallel to the midline or coronal. The GD 12
coronal embryo suffered forceps damage to its right cortex, which resulted in hematomas in the brain. Interestingly, these show well the still nucleated red and other developing blood cells. Tissue sections were deparaffinized in xylenes (3 x 6 min); ethanols (100%: 3 x 1 min, 95%; 1 x 1 min); running tap water (1 min); stained with hematoxylin (Richard Allan #7211, Fisher Scientific; 9 min); rinsed with running tap water (3 min); background staining removed with acid alcohol (4 ml conc. HCl / 750 ml 70% ethanol; 2 sec); rinsed in running tap water (2 min); passed through a bluing solution (ammonia water; 2 ml NH3 / 750 ml H2O; 25 sec); rinsed in running tap water (3 min) and 95% ethanol (2 x 30 sec); stained with eosin Y (Richard Allan #7111, Fisher Scientific; 6 min); dehydrated with 95% ethanol (1 x 1 min); 100% ethanol (2 x 1 min); and xylenes (2 x 3 min). Stained sections were selected by areas of interest rather than at equal intervals. Whole sections were photographed with a Spot Insight 4 ver. 4.5.9.3 digital camera (Diagnostic Instruments) using a Leica Wild M420 macroscope. High magnification images were photographed using a Leitz Laborlux S with 4x, 10x and 20x objectives. Images were captured on a Mac Power PC G5, and then traced using Adobe Illustrator CS2 ver. 12.0.1 computer graphics systems. Structures were delineated as follows: central nervous system structures, inner ear and eye, 1 point (pt) solid; fiber tracts, 0.5 pt dashed; ganglia, olfactory and auditory epithelium, 0.75 pt solid; peripheral nerves, 1.0 pt dotted; head structures, 0.5 pt solid; vessels, 0.5 pt dashed. Color of images was adjusted, if necessary, in Adobe Photoshop CS2 ver. 8.0.
