Deluxe, New Coronal Set

The preceding editions made The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates the second most cited book in science. Affordable, comprehensive, compact, and convenient, the Fifth Edition is expected to continue the legacy of this major neuroscience publication and be a guide to all students and scientists who study the rat brain. In this edition, for the first time since the first edition, delineations have been drawn entirely anew (on the basis of a new set of sections). Eighteen hitherto unknown nuclei are identified.
Key features:
- 161 coronal diagrams based on a single brain
- Delineations drawn entirely new from a new set of sections
- Diagrams spaced at constant 120 ìm 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
