Opis

The Fourth Edition of the Atlas of Developing Rat Nervous System builds on the many excellent features of the first three editions that made this book the most cited atlas of the developing rat brain. The Atlas provides the most comprehensive depiction not just of structures in the brain and spinal cord but also of peripheral nervous system elements and their target organs that are important for developmental neurobiologists. This allows the user to follow seamlessly neural structures through the developing embryo in both time and space. The nomenclature and identification of structures in this edition have been thoroughly updated to ensure accuracy and compatibility with modern developmental biology findings and terminology.

• Provides detailed and accurate coverage of the developing rat nervous system from Embryonic Day 11 to Day of Birth
• Contains 200 photographs and 200 accompanying diagrams of coronal or sagittal sections of rats aged E11 - E19
• Contains new sections on Histology, Neurogenetics, and Imaging and MRI Histology and Panneuronal Markers
• Delineates brain structures as well as peripheral nerves, ganglia, arteries, veins, muscles, bones, and other important organs
• Serves as an essential tool for researchers in the interpretation of findings resulting from the genetic manipulation of brain development

O autorze

Professor George Paxinos, AO (BA, MA, PhD, DSc) completed his BA at The University of California at Berkeley, his PhD at McGill University, and spent a postdoctoral year at Yale University. He is the author of almost 50 books on the structure of the brain of humans and experimental animals, including The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, now in its 7th Edition, which is ranked by Thomson ISI as one of the 50 most cited items in the Web of Science. Dr. Paxinos paved the way for future neuroscience research by being the first to produce a three-dimensional (stereotaxic) framework for placement of electrodes and injections in the brain of experimental animals, which is now used as an international standard. He was a member of the first International Consortium for Brain Mapping, a UCLA based consortium that received the top ranking and was funded by the NIMH led Human Brain Project. Dr. Paxinos has been honored with more than nine distinguished awards throughout his years of research, including: The Warner Brown Memorial Prize (University of California at Berkeley, 1968), The Walter Burfitt Prize (1992), The Award for Excellence in Publishing in Medical Science (Assoc Amer Publishers, 1999), The Ramaciotti Medal for Excellence in Biomedical Research (2001), The Alexander von Humbolt Foundation Prize (Germany 2004), and more.
