[Histonet] Rodent Processing Schedule?

Hi Everyone:

Does anyone have a protocol for  processing whole, formalin fixed mouse 
brains? The mouse brains need to be processed whole.
I am concerned that  over-processing, using a schedule meant for human 
brain tissue, will dry the tissue out excessively and make the serial 
sectioning a nightmare.
Also, would the same schedule apply to whole rat brains, or should the 
times be increased a bit?
Thank you.
