MRI- and histologically derived neuroanatomical atlas of the Ambystoma mexicanum (axolotl)
Abstract Amphibians are an important vertebrate model system to understand anatomy, genetics and physiology.Importantly, the brain and spinal cord of adult urodels (salamanders) have an incredible regeneration capacity, contrary to anurans (frogs) and the rest of adult vertebrates.Among these amphibians, the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has gained
