Just down the Canal from you, at U.Ottawa, Claude Kateb,PhD, former
grad student of Zul Merali,  recently produced this information in a
markatable format.  He took brain slices and scanned them in and saved
them on disks using Corel file formats.  These import well into Corel
Draw, of course, and were more refined in terms of distance from
Bregma in all the planes (sagital, coronal, and horizontal), compared
to the Paxinos and Watson atlas.  Unfortuantely, the latest that we
have heard is that the company is no longer solvent.  Perhaps,
Dr.Merali has information.
