Methods Mol Biol. 2014:1082:197-214. doi: 10.1007/978-1-62703-655-9_14.

Abstract

Zebrafishbrain.org is an online neuroanatomical atlas of the embryonic zebrafish. The atlas uses high-resolution confocal images and movies of transgenic lines to describe different brain structures. This chapter covers detail of materials and protocols that we employ to generate data for the atlas.
