The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates

Since its first edition in 1982, the Paxinos and Watson rat brain atlas has become the most trusted source of accurate coordinates and anatomical information in laboratories throughout the world. It has been cited over 60,000 times, making it the most cited publication in neuroscience. The seventh edition incorporates new findings on developmental gene expression and presents the boundaries of neuromeres in sagittal sections.

161 thoroughly revised coronal diagrams and accompanying photographic plates spaced at 120 µm intervals19 thoroughly revised sagittal diagrams and accompanying photographic plates27 thoroughly revised horizontal diagrams and accompanying photographic platesPhotographic plates printed from high resolution digital images in colorDiagrams of all spinal cord segmentsThe most accurate and virtually universally used stereotaxic coordinate systemNeuromeric segments delineated in sagittal sectionsA 'mini-atlas' of 14 diagrams to assist beginning students of neuroanatomyOver 1000 structures identifiedElectronic diagrams available to purchasers of this book via a companion web site (http://booksite.elsevier.com/9780123919496/)
