Featured Datasets
MicroCT imaging of the fascicular structure in the porcine right and left cervical vagus nerve
This dataset provides a collection of microCT scans of the left and right vagus nerves from domestic pigs. Scans were captured, spanning a 15-20 cm window from the nodose ganglion to the superior cardiac branch, with a precision of 20 um slice intervals.
