This atlas – and its accompanying text - is the most comprehensive work on avian neuroanatomy available so far. It identifies more than 900 hundred structures (versus ca. 250 in previous avian atlases), 180 of them for the first time. It correlates avian and mammalian neuroanatomy on the basis of homologies and applies mammalian terms to homologous avian structures. This is the first atlas that represents the fundamental histogenetic domains of the vertebrate neuroaxis on the basis of sound fate-mapping and gene expression data. This results in a substantial increase in accuracy of delineations. Developmental molecular biologists will find it easier to extrapolate early neural tube patterns into mature structures. The modern trend to shift avian neuroanatomical nomenclature toward mammalian terminology by reference to postulated homologies has been expanded to the entire brain, but is not yet complete. This creates a new standard for comparative cross-reference, which can also be applied to reptilian-mammalian comparisons. - Color photographs and matching diagrams of 65 coronal, 23 sagittal and 9 horizontal 140 micron-thick sections reacted histochemically for acetylcholinesterase (AChE). - Thoroughly revised drawings. Updated view of the pallium, including the new concept of homology between the lateral pallium and the mammalian claustro-insular complex. - Extensive introductory text and bibliography, presenting the background information, methodology and justification of delineations. - For the first time in any species, this atlas depicts the fate-mapped natural embryonic boundaries in the postnatal brain. For the first time, we present color images of all the 6 histological stains (AChE, Nissl, TH, calbindin, calretinin and parvalbumin) on which delineations are based (accompanying Expert Consult eBook). - Includes the Expert Consult eBook version, compatible with PC, Mac, and most mobile devices and eReaders, which allows readers to browse, search, and interact with content. - The eBook also contains annotatable AI files of diagrams for use by researchers.

The chicken is the standard model for avian and vertebrate brain anatomy, particularly in development. The Chick Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates contains 200 coronal plates and diagrams, 40 sagittal plates and diagrams, and 20 horizontal plates and diagrams, illustrated in stereotaxic coordinates. This book is essential for anyone studying the physiology and function of the chick brain. * Presents the highest level of anatomical detail currently unavailable * Juxtaposes histology with diagrams for ease of study * Employs standarized use of homologies, nomenclature, and abbreviation similar to that in other Elsevier atlases by George Paxinos

The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates Compact, Seventh Edition is a smaller sized (8.5 x 11inch), abridged version of the most referenced work in neuroscience (over 35,000 citations). The compact edition provides the coronal plates and diagrams of the current seventh edition in a smaller, more convenient spiral format and at a student friendly price. This book includes an introduction on current concepts in neuroanatomy, such as neuromeres and brain development. Students and seasoned researchers will find the first major unified nomenclature ontology tree based on development that features coronal photographic plates and juxtaposed diagrams. - Features 161 coronal diagrams and accompanying photographic plates spaced at constant 120 micron intervals - Includes a simplified mini-atlas for beginning neuroscientists, and for teaching purposes - Covers the most accurate and widely used stereotaxic coordinate system - Presents diagrams that are identical to those in the full Seventh Edition - Includes the Expert Consult eBook version, compatible with PC, Mac, and most mobile devices and eReaders, which allows readers to browse, search, and interact with content

Paxinos and Franklin's The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Fifth Edition, emulates in design and accuracy Paxinos and Watson's The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, the most cited publication in neuroscience. - 100 thoroughly revised coronal diagrams and accompanying photographic plates spaced at approximately 120 μm intervals - 32 thoroughly revised sagittal diagrams and accompanying photographic plates - 30 thoroughly revised horizontal diagrams and accompanying photographic plates - Photographic plates printed from high resolution digital images in color - The most accurate and virtually universally used stereotaxic coordinate system - Over 800 structures identified - Includes the Expert Consult eBook version, compatible with PC, Mac, and most mobile devices and eReaders, which allows readers to browse, search, and interact with content

Since its first edition in 1982, the Paxinos and Watson rat brain atlas has become the most trusted source of accurate coordinates and anatomical information in laboratories throughout the world. It has been cited over 60,000 times, making it the most cited publication in neuroscience. The seventh edition incorporates new findings on developmental gene expression and presents the boundaries of neuromeres in sagittal sections. - 161 thoroughly revised coronal diagrams and accompanying photographic plates spaced at 120 μm intervals - 19 thoroughly revised sagittal diagrams and accompanying photographic plates - 27 thoroughly revised horizontal diagrams and accompanying photographic plates - Photographic plates printed from high resolution digital images in color - Diagrams of all spinal cord segments - The most accurate and virtually universally used stereotaxic coordinate system - Neuromeric segments delineated in sagittal sections - A 'mini-atlas' of 14 diagrams to assist beginning students of neuroanatomy - Over 1000 structures identified - Electronic diagrams available to purchasers of this book via a companion web site (http://booksite.elsevier.com/9780123919496/)

The Rhesus Monkey Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates is the most comprehensive and accurate atlas of the monkey brain. The fourth edition of this classic book is a complete revision featuring many improvements and upgrades. Constructed by the established leaders in neuroanatomical atlas development, the new edition will continue to be the indispensable resource for all scientists working on the primate nervous system. - 141 completely revised coronal diagrams and accompanying colour photographic plates spaced at approximately 120 μm intervals - 60 colour photographic coronal plates of SMI immunoreactivity with completely revised delineations - Includes MR images at approximately the same levels as the coronal diagrams - Follows the same nomenclature and abbreviations as the mouse, rat, chicken, marmoset and human brain atlases, with indications of correspondence to alternative macaque nomenclatures - This atlas was used for the delineation and nomenclature of MRI-based macaque brain atlases for neuroimaging analyses, including the SARM

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. The Fifth Edition continues the legacy of this major neuroscience publication and is a guide for all students and scientists who study the rat brain. - 161 coronal diagrams based on a single brain. - 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.
