This large format book sets a new standard in quality and clarity. Excellent reproduction and documentation sets this book apart from its counterparts. The main objective of Brain Maps is to provide information about rat brain anatomy that is accurate, convenient, documented, complete, and systematic. New computer and graphic techniques have been exploited to their fullest in what is sure to be an essential guide to neuroscientists in the laboratory. This work provides: # Closely spaced Nissl sections (73) all selected from one serially-sectioned, celloidin-embedded brain. # Accompanying Aligned Drawings illustrate cell groups seen with Nissl stain, and fiber tracts seen with dark-field illumination. # Development of the nervous system illustrated in a series of diagrams. # Computer applications: drawings designed with 2D and 3D computer applications in mind # Summary Map: all cell groups in the Atlas are summarized in a 2D map of the central nervous system. # Nomenclature is documented critically from the primary neuroanatomical literature.
