Databasing receptor distributions in the brain.
Receptor distributions in the brain are studied by autoradiographic mapping in brain slices, which is a labor-intensive and expensive procedure. To keep track of the results of such studies, we have designed CoReDat, a multi-user relational database system that is available for download from www.cocomac.org/coredat. Here, we describe the data model and provide an architectural overview of CoReDat for the neuroscientist who wants to use this database, adapt it for related purposes, or build a new one.
