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.

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.

MRI/DTI Atlas of the Rat Brain offers two major enhancements when compared with earlier attempts to make MRI/DTI rat brain atlases. First, the spatial resolution at 25μm is considerably higher than previous data published. Secondly, the comprehensive set of MRI/DTI contrasts provided has enabled the authors to identify more than 80% of structures identified in The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates. - Ninety-six coronal levels from the olfactory bulb to the pyramidal decussation are depicted - Delineations primarily made on the basis of direct observations on the MRI contrasts - Each of the 96 open book pages displays four items— top left, the directionally colored fractional anisotropy image derived from DTI (DTI - FAC); top right, the diffusion-weighted image (DWI); bottom left, the gradient recalled echo (GRE); and bottom right, a diagrammatic synthesis of the information derived from these three images plus two additional images, which are not displayed (ARDC and RD). This is repeated for 96 coronal levels, which makes the levels 250 μm apart - The FAC images are shown in full color - The orientation of sections corresponds to that in Paxinos and Watson's The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, 7th Edition (2014) - The images have been obtained from 3D isotropic population averages (number of rats=5). All abbreviations of structure names are identical to the Paxinos & Watson histologic atlas

The complement to The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Brain, Third Edition, features a single brain series of high-quality plates stained with eight different markers, extensively annotated and labelled throughout. Plates from the previous edition of Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Brain have been re-scanned at high resolution and are shown in color. Labeled structures have been revised, corrected, and updated, providing users with a streamlined, up-to-date, and highly accurate compendium of chemical markers. Researchers with a need to understand the detailed organization of the rat brain as well as structure/function relationships will need this atlas and its array of stains. - Provides an archive of chemical markers in the rat brain used in many areas of research - Discusses primary data to help researchers identify structures in their own preparations from neuroanatomical, physiological, neuropharmacological, and gene expression studies - Accompanies the gold standard reference on the neuroanatomy of the nervous system of the most important model animal in neuroscience and experimental psychology - Covers both the rat forebrain and the rat brainstem - Thoroughly revised identification of structures following the new data from The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates 7th edition and the Chick Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates 2nd 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

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

Representing the state-of-the-art in neurochemical mapping, Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Developing Mouse Brain provides a complete, full-color look at the developing mouse brain. Hundreds of coronal sections are presented, clearly illustrating structures at progressive stages of brain development.
