Books about Stereotaxic from Amazon.com

The preceding editions made The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates the second most cited book in science This Fifth Edition is the result of years of research providing the user with the drawings of the completely new set of coronal sections, now from one rat, and with significantly improved resolution by adding a third additional section level as compared to earlier editions. Numerous new nuclei and structures also have been identified. The drawings are presented in two color, providing a much better contrast for use, and the accompanying CD-ROM contains all of the drawings from the atlas as well as the corresponding color micrographs (which are not included in the book).

Affordable, comprehensive, compact, and convenient, the Fifth Edition continues the legacy of this major neuroscience publication and is a guide to all students and scientists who study the rat brain.

·161 coronal diagrams based on a single brain
·Includes a CD-ROM featuring all of the drawings from the book, plus the accompanying color micrographs that are not in the printed atlas
·Delineations drawn entirely new from a new set of sections
·Diagrams spaced at constant 120 µm intervals resulting in the high resolution and convenience of use
·Drawings use blue color lines and black labels to facilitate extraction of information
·The stereotaxic grid was derived using the same techniques that produced the widely praised stereotaxic grid of the previous editions
·Over 1000 structures identified, a number for the first time in this edition.

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 accompanying DVD provides drawings of brains structures that can be used as templates for making figures for publication. The 3rd edition is both a major revision and an expansion of previous editions. Delineations and photographs in the horizontal plane of section now complement the coronal and sagittal series, and all the tissue sections are now shown in high resolution digital color photography. The photographs of the sections and the intermediate sections are also provided on the accompanying DVD in high-resolution JP 2000 format. The delineations of structures have been revised, and naming conventions made consistent with Paxinos and Watson's Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, 6th Edition. The 3rd edition of this atlas is now in more practical 14"x11" format for convenient lab use.

New to this edition:
* Full color throughout
* Includes a CD of all plates and diagrams, as well as Adobe Illustrator files of the diagrams, and a variety of additional useful material
* Coronal and sagittal diagrams are completely reworked and updated
* Rhombomeric borders included in sagittal figures, for the first time in mammals
* Microscopic plates are scanned with a new method in much higher quality.

Laboratory-bred common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) have a natural lifespan in captivity in excess of 12 years, while their maximum longevity is more than 16 years. Due to its small size, its relatively easy adaptation to laboratory conditions, and neuroanatomical similarities with human species, this animal is considered to represent a convenient primate model for neurosciences and drug development.

The Marmoset Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates provides a comprehensive guide for those -- both researchers and undergraduates -- who are interested in the marmoset brain, tissue target characterization and comparative anatomy. The nomenclature and atlas presentation were inspired from existing reference brain atlases in other species, and the high quality of illustrations was achieved thanks to automated whole slide scanning.

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.

* Delineations of 100 coronal diagrams, as fully revised for the 3rd edition

* 100 coronal photographic plates produced from directly scanned very high resolution images of the biological sections (done at the Allen Institute)

* Beginner's guide with 25 pages on how to do stereotaxic surgery, how to use the atlas, including how to match experimental sections against the atlas plates (e.g. what features of the brain change gradually and can be used as guides to location)

* 3 sagittal, 5 coronal and 2 horizontal simplified overview diagrams for students

* Surface views of the brain with labels over the major structures

* Uses the best ontology tree (nomenclature based on the development of the brain) so far constructed with universal application across mammals

* CD providing electronic versions of all diagrams and photographs in different resolutions for downloads
