Description
This large format book sets a new standard in quality and clarity. Excellent reproduction and documentation sets this book apart from
its counterparts. The main objective of Brain Maps is to provide information about rat brain anatomy that is accurate, convenient,
documented, complete, and systematic. New computer and graphic techniques have been exploited to their fullest in what is sure to be
an essential guide to neuroscientists in the laboratory.
This work provides:
• Closely spaced Nissl sections (73)
all selected from one serially-sectioned, celloidin-embedded brain.
• Accompanying Aligned Drawings illustrate cell groups
seen with Nissl stain, and fiber tracts seen with dark-field illumination.
• Development of the nervous system illustrated
in a series of diagrams.
• Computer applications: drawings designed with 2D and 3D computer applications in mind
• Summary Map: all cell groups in the Atlas are summarized in a 2D map of the central nervous system.
• Nomenclature
is documented critically from the primary neuroanatomical literature.
• Large format, quality bound approx. 160 black
and white plates.
• Essential as a research and instructional aid.
