This work was conducted as part of Erin Ramos’s doctoral dissertation research from 2021 to 2024 under the supervision of Dr. Alev Erisir in the Department of Psychology at the University of Virginia.

This Prairie Vole Brain Atlas contains 33 sets of coronal sections stained for Myelin, Nissl or Oxytocin. Brain structures are outlined and annotated. The pdf is editable by researchers who wish to implement the outlines and annotations on their own prairie vole brain samples. Any questions can be directed to Erin Ramos (enk2us@virginia.edu) or Alev Erisir (erisir@virginia.edu).
