Academic Press The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates

The mouse is undoubtedly the most important and commonly used model system in research. This is increasingly the case in the study of brain function. The availability of genetically modified animals has boosted research in neuroscience, and the data being amassed needs a common neuroanatomical background to map to. The previous two editions of the Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates have been the standard neuroanatomical atlases for the mouse for over a decade. The completely revised and updated 3rd edition features many improvements and upgrades. The presentation is in full color throughout, and features much higher quality microscopic plates created through a new scanning technique that greatly improves resolution. Constructed by the established leaders in neuroanatomical atlas development, the new edition will again become an indispensable resource for all scientists working on the mouse nervous system. 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
