Medaka Histological Atlas
Medaka has been widely used as a vertebrate model in biology, medicine,
environmental science and fishery. A condition required for the widespread
use of an organism as a model is that its histological atlas be available.
Unfortunately, the histological atlases of medaka for use by researchers
are as yet not available. We, the steering committee of the National BioResource
Project (NBRP) Medaka have launched a project, in which the Editorial
Board edits and releases medaka histological atlases on the web. As the
first step of this project, we will release the brain histological atlas
developed by Dr. Yuji Ishikawa of the National Institute of Radiological
Sciences. Dr. Yukiko Yamazaki of the National Institute of Genetics produced
an atlas that is easy to use and understand on the basis of the original
atlas prepared by Dr. Yuji Ishikawa. We plan to release two to three additional
atlases in the near future.
These histological atlases will be edited on the web; thus, it is possible
to revise existing items and add new items to previously published atlases.
Although we have recently released an atlas prepared by a member of
our project team, we would like to improve continuously the histological
atlases by adding information received from the readers of this web
site. We look forward to receiving information from the readers of this
site. We would appreciate your opinions and additional information.
