” Like the current ‘gold standard’ of magnetic resonance imaging, diceCT does not require physical dissection and can differentiate between the lipid content of myelinated versus nonmyelinated tissues, thereby offering great potential for neuroanatomical studies. Within the brain diceCT distinguishes myelinated fiber tracts from unmyelinated cortices, nuclei, and ganglia and allows 3D visualization of their anatomical interrelationships at previously unrealized spatial scales. In our open access study, we demonstrate the transformative potential of diceCT for developing high-resolution neuroanatomical datasets and describe best practices for imaging large numbers of specimens for broad evolutionary studies across vertebrates.”
