Second Edition

Description
Already acknowledged by researchers, instructors, students and librarians as a definitive and comprehensive reference on the structure
of the rat brain, this new edition offers completely revised and updated information and is now complemented by two companion CD-ROMs.
The central core of the print atlas is 73 vector drawings prepared from transverse Nissl-stained sections through the adult male rat
brain. These Nissl-stained sections are presented on CD-ROM.
This high-quality atlas/CD-ROM combination includes: updated atlas maps;
aligned drawings; a new summary of the rat brain structure; new sections devoted to neuroanatomical methods; mapping experimental results
on atlas maps; chapters on neuroanatomical databases and 3-D computer graphics models; revised systematic nomenclature tables; and a
greatly expanded list of synonyms.
Enhancements in content are equally matched by enhancements in usability. The print version has
now been produced in a handy A4 format, convenient for use right at the laboratory workbench. The sophisticated functionalities and collection
of information provided on the CD-ROMs afford many advantages. By utilising the robust drawing and labeling toolkit (stack of 73 atlas
maps and stack of 73 atlas photomicrographs), users can access graphics files and manipulate images.
Brain Maps: Structure of
the Rat Brain, Second Edition provides information about the rat brain anatomy that is accurate, convenient, well documented, comprehensive
and systematic - at a reasonable price. This extremely functional book and CD-ROM set provides the reader with a high-quality, authoritative
rat brain atlas that is essential for any core neuroscience reference collection or laboratory.
