Brain Maps: Structure of the Rat Brain (CD-ROM and Book)

Provides atlas maps aligned in 3-dimensional space.   Using colour photomicrographs of histological sections based on a single rat brain.   Where other atlases use multiple brains as models, the use of a single brain allows for true 3-D reconstruction.   Colour coding of the major parts of the brain and extends this coding system to the atlas levels, flatmaps, and nomenclature tables for easier reference.   With systematic nomenclature tables, references to the primary research literature for all of the structures, coverage of the neuroanatomical methods and mapping.   Also includes an accompanying CD-ROM of all the atlas maps.   Table of Contents: Summary of Adult Rat Brain Structure; Preparation and Use of the Atlas; Mapping Experimental Results; Flatmap Overviews; Problems with Nomenclature; Atlas of 73 Transverse Levels; Annotated Nomenclature Tables.

Comments & References: Updated Third Edition.   Spiral-bound.   215 pages.   Suitable for neuroscientists, particularly those studying neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and molecular biology using the rat barin as an experimental model.   Published by Academic Press, now part of Elsevier.   Includes a CD-ROM and a Book (record number 7107 in TextBase).
