Description
The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates is the most widely used and cited atlas of the mouse brain in print. It provides
researchers and students with both accurate stereotaxic coordinates for laboratory use, and detailed delineations and indexing of structures
for reference. The
Compact 3rd edition is both a major revision and an expansion of previous compact editions. The 100
high resolution digital photographs of the coronal plane of section from the third full edition now complement the coronal drawings.
The photographs of the sections and the intermediate sections are also provided on the accompanying CD. In addition, the compact version
has a large introduction on stereotaxic surgery and the use of the atlas in the lab, as well as a number of panoramic simplified diagrams
for student instruction. The
Compact 3rd edition is in 8.5 x 11 format and is spiral bound suitable for positioning
next to microscopes and cryotomes.
Audience:
Standard neuroanatomy lab atlas for all labs doing neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, behavioral neuroscience, or molecular
expression/cloning / neurogenetics in the mouse brain.
