Abstract: This dataset contains confocal image data of coronal sections following immunohistochemical staining for muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (type 2) – positive cells. These cells can facilitate the identification of the border between the primary visual cortex and the secondary visual cortex. According to Ji et al. (2015; “Modularity in the Organization of Mouse Primary Visual Cortex”, Neuron, 87, 632-643), layers IV and III in the primary visual cortex show very strong M2-expression levels, layers I, II and Vb moderate and layers VI and V...
