This second edition of 'The Mouse Brain in Steroetaxic Coordinates' includes lower brainstem sections, an entire sagittal plan of section and includes a revised section on all delineations, especially of the cortex.

The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Second Edition is the most comprehensive and accurate atlas of the mouse brain ever published. The first edition of this book has become the acknowledged reference in its field. In the second edition, the authors incorporated lower brainstem sections, an entire sagittal plane of section and revised all delineations, especially of the cortex. This guide is essential to those who study the brain of this species or any similar species, including hamsters. The large, spiral-bound format makes it easy to see the details in each illustration or photograph and compare them to animal models in the lab.

Atlas of the Developing Mouse Brain, Second Edition builds on the features of successful first edition, providing a comprehensive and convenient reference for all areas of the mouse brain at Fetal-Day 17.5 (E17.5), Day-of-Birth (P0), and Day-Six postnatal (P6). The book also delineates the parts of the eye, features of the skull, ganglia, nerves, arteries, veins, bones and foramina. This atlas is an essential tool for researchers and students who study the development of the mouse brain, or for those who interpret findings from genetic manipulation. - Contains 176 high-resolution color scans of Nissl-stained coronal sections of the brain and skull of the fetal (E17.5), day-of-birth (P0), and day-six postnatal mouse (P6) - Includes diagrams that delineate all structures of the brain, as well as peripheral nerves, ganglia, muscles, bones, veins and arteries of the head - Presents approximately 5000 corrections and updates from the first edition - Includes color codes of the veins, arteries, nerves and ganglions of the skull in diagrams

This completely revised edition of The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, the second most cited book in science, represents a dramatic update from the previous edition. Based on a single rat brain, this edition features an entirely new coronal set of tissue cut in regular 120 micron intervals with accompanying photographs and drawings of coronal, horizontal and sagittal sections of this new set. The use of the single brain allows for greater consistency between sections, while advances in histochemistry techniques provides increased refinement in the definition of brain areas, making this the most accurate and detailed stereotaxic rat atlas produced to date. The atlas will also include a CD-ROM featuring all of the graphics and text. Every lab working with the rat as an experimental animal model will want to use this book as their atlas of choice.This book is also available in a softcover spiral binding at the same price. - Includes twice as many coronal sections, nissl plates, and sagittal plates as the previous edition - Uses a single rat brain allowing for better consistency and better delineations in the line drawings of structures - Provides improved stereotaxic coordinates at a higher level of detail - Accompanying CD-ROM features graphics and text - Now available as hardcover version and softcover version with a spiral binding at the same price

Paxinos and Franklin's The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Compact Fifth Edition, is the compact version of the most widely used and cited atlas of the mouse brain in print. It emulates in design and accuracy Paxinos and Watson's The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, the most cited publication in neuroscience. The compact edition provides the coronal plates and diagrams of the full mouse atlas in a smaller, more convenient spiral format and at a student friendly price. High resolution digital photographs of the coronal plane of section from the full 5th edition complement the coronal drawings. Unique to the compact, it includes an introduction to the use of the atlas in stereotaxic surgery. - Contains 100 coronal diagrams that were fully revised for this new edition - Includes 100 coronal photographic plates produced from directly scanned, very high-resolution images of the biological sections (done at the Allen Institute) - Provides a beginner's guide with 25 pages on conducting stereotaxic surgery and how to use the atlas - Presents surface views of the brain with labels over the major structures - Uses the best ontology tree (nomenclature based on the development of the brain) with universal applications across mammals

“As different artists sculpt different statues from the same block of marble, different environments produce different characters, even in identical twins.” Evelyn, a geneticist and amateur archeologist, makes a formidable discovery in Israel, the consequence of which is the birth of Christopher and José, identical twins raised apart, one in affluent Sydney, the other in the slums of Buenos Aires. The twins, unaware of each other’s existence or their origin, will meet for a moment only, in the Amazon, adversaries in the battle for the forest. Standing by both twins is Lorena, a medical student who under the claws of a dictatorship organizes the student environmental resistance. A novel whose heroes travel to four continents in search of their identity. How can values such as love, faith, forgiveness and freedom change their lives? What are the limits of science and the brain? Can there be consilience between humans and nature?

Modern neuroscience research is inherently multidisciplinary, with a wide variety of cutting edge new techniques to explore multiple levels of investigation. This Third Edition of Guide to Research Techniques in Neuroscience provides a comprehensive overview of classical and cutting edge methods including their utility, limitations, and how data are presented in the literature. This book can be used as an introduction to neuroscience techniques for anyone new to the field or as a reference for any neuroscientist while reading papers or attending talks. - Nearly 200 updated full-color illustrations to clearly convey the theory and practice of neuroscience methods - Expands on techniques from previous editions and covers many new techniques including in vivo calcium imaging, fiber photometry, RNA-Seq, brain spheroids, CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, and more - Clear, straightforward explanations of each technique for anyone new to the field - A broad scope of methods, from noninvasive brain imaging in human subjects, to electrophysiology in animal models, to recombinant DNA technology in test tubes, to transfection of neurons in cell culture - Detailed recommendations on where to find protocols and other resources for specific techniques - "Walk-through" boxes that guide readers through experiments step-by-step
