Book Description

ISBN-10: 0125476116 | ISBN-13: 978-0125476119 | Publication Date: February 3, 1999

Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Brainstem is the most comprehensive atlas of the rat brainstem ever published, featuring 243 fully labeled large photographs of the brainstem. It identifies brains structure not only on the conventional Nissl-stained sections, but also on an additional six stains of interest to neuroscientists.
Scientists will no longer need to search journals in the hope that they may obtain some information about the distribution of the vital substances presented in this book. Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Brainstem comprehensively displays them and concurrently sets new standards of accuracy in the delineations of brain regions.

Key Features
* 243 fully delineated photographic plates in a large 13" x 14" format
* Sets new standards of accuracy in the delineations of brain regions
* Based on a single brain sectioned in the coronal plane
* Presents at regular intervals photographs of sections stained for parvalbumin, calbindin, calretinin, neurofilament protein (SMi32), Nissl, tyrosine hydroxylase, and NADPH/diaphorase
* An excellent companion to The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Compact and Fourth Editions, and Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Forebrain

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...The purpose is to present the distribution of seven substrates of emerging or enduring interest in pictures, and in so doing delineate the entire brain on the basis of the architecture of these chemicals. This is a highly valuable contribution to neuroanatomy. The objectives are successfully met in this book... everything that can be expected is in this book. The principal author is a preeminent authority on rodent neuroanatomy... All the photographs are accompanied by a full list of abbreviations, making the atlas easy to use...This atlas is a very valuable addition to our knowledge of rodent anatomy. It is a high quality reference..." - RATED 4 STARS!

From the Back Cover

Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Brainstem, featuring 243 fully labeled, large photographs, is the most comprehensive atlas of the rat brainstem ever published. It identifies brain structure not only on the conventional Nissl-stained sections but on additional six stains of interest to neuroscientists. This authoritative atlas provides comprehensive information about the location of chemicals in the rat brainstem, while redefining brain regions on the basis of the distribution of these substances.
