Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Brain

The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, now in its 6th Edition, editied by Paxinos and Watson, has been the most used reference of neuroscientists for the past 25 years. Both the illustrations and nomenclature of the atlas have become standard tools used by almost all research neuroscientists who deal with anatomy, physiology or function. In 1999, the same authors published Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Forebrain and Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Brainstem.  

These publications have been recognized as providing an archive of chemical markers in the rat brain guiding researchers in the identification of structures in their own preparations in many areas of research. They provided primary data which researchers could apply to their own studies. These books were based on the 4th edition of the Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, and are now out-of-print. This second edition will combine the two volumes of the first edition into a single volume. The photographs are presented one to a page in the forebrain and midbrain areas, two to a page in the hindbrain. Different chemoarchitectonic stains are displayed with labels identifying the structures of the brain, following the delineations and nomenclature of the Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Sixth Edition.  

Table of Contents: Introduction (30 pages); Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Forebrain (275 pages); Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Midbrain (80 pages); Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Hindbrain (80 pages).

Second Edition. Hardcover. Suitable for researchers using Neuroanatomy, Neurophysiology, Neuropharmacology, Neurogenetics to study the rat nervous system. Published by Academic Press, now part of Elsevier. 

Please note that there is a 3rd Edition of this book.
