Noninvasive high field MRI brain imaging of the Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis)

This report documents the application of high field magnetic resonance imaging to viewing the central nervous system of garter snakes (12-43 g) with emphasis on the vomeronasal and olfactory systems. Slices in all three planes were taken in lightly sedated snakes showing many major neural structures with resolution down to less than 60 μm. The […]
