Product Description

The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates is the most widely used and cited atlas of the mouse brain in print. It provides researchers and students with both accurate stereotaxic coordinates for laboratory use, and detailed delineations and indexing of structures for reference. The accompanying DVD provides drawings of brains structures that can be used as templates for making figures for publication. The 3rd edition is both a major revision and an expansion of previous editions. Delineations and photographs in the horizontal plane of section now complement the coronal and sagittal series, and all the tissue sections are now shown in high resolution digital color photography. The photographs of the sections and the intermediate sections are also provided on the accompanying DVD in high-resolution JP 2000 format. The delineations of structures have been revised, and naming conventions made consistent with Paxinos and Watson's Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, 6th Edition. The 3rd edition of this atlas is now in more practical 14"x11" format for convenient lab use.

New to this edition:
* 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

From the Back Cover
The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates is the first atlas in more than 20 years to provide an up-do-date diagrammatic reference illustrating the coronal plates of the mouse brain. As in the renowned Academic Press publication, The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Second Edition, the stereotaxic accuracy of each section is ensured. The standard reference marks are repeated in each structure, and the atlas is sectioned with excellent symmetry. The large, easy-to-use format displays the sections alternately stained for Nissl substance and for acetylcholinestrase. Comprising 93 clearly reproduced images and corresponding diagrams, this atlas is a must reference in every lab.
Atlas Benefits:
* Based on the flat-skull position, with the bregma, the lambda, and the midpoint of the interaural line as reference points
* Based on a complete series of sections taken from a single adult male C57BL/J6 mouse
* Consists of 93 photographic plates and accompanying diagrams with an average distance of 120 µ between adjacent plates
* Photographs of Nissl-stained sections are alternated with acetylcholinestrase-stained sections
* Structures of the mouse brain are delineated in detail matching that of The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Second Edition
* All areas of the brain are depicted except for the lower medulla

Customer Reviews

A great altas!
I am an associate at TSRI in La Jolla. As long as I have worked here, we have used this atlas, and I have not yet found a better one!

a must have!
every neuroscience lab should have one. Deluxe edition is worth it (CD included)!
