Product Description

A complementary Atlas to the extremely successful The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates by Franklin and Paxinos, now in its 3rd edition (2008). This atlas collects labelled chemical neuroanatomy micrographs of the slides that the authors used to inform their identification of the brain regions delineated in the Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates. It is a very useful addition to the program for researchers working on the rat brain because it allows direct comparison of their own sections with the sections Paxinos uses to identify structures in the brain. This new atlas represents the first time an accurate histochemical atlas showing the areas of the mouse brain in microscopic slides in a variety of different stains has been available. Until now researchers studying the mouse brain have been forced to consult the existing histochemical atlases of the rat brain (including Paxinos and Watson's) and extrapolate from rat data - a strategy which is not very accurate and often not succ
