Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates Compact, Seventh Edition
is a smaller sized (8.5 x 11inch), abridged version of the most
referenced work in neuroscience (over 35,000 citations). The
compact edition provides the coronal plates and diagrams of the
current seventh edition in a smaller, more convenient spiral format
and at a student friendly price. This book includes an introduction
on current concepts in neuroanatomy, such as neuromeres and brain
development. Students and seasoned researchers will find the first
major unified nomenclature ontology tree based on development that
features coronal photographic plates and juxtaposed diagrams.
Human Brainstem: Cytoarchitecture, Chemoarchitecture,
Myeloarchitecture explores how the human brainstem has been impeded
by the unavailability of an up-to-date, comprehensive, diagrammatic
and photographic atlas. Now, with the first detailed atlas on the
human brainstem in more than twenty years, this book presents an
accurate, comprehensive and convenient reference for students,
researchers and pathologists.
This book provides easy-to-skim profiles of innovative programs and
practices which have been implemented at middle schools across the
country.
This book shows you how to harness the energy and knowledge
distributed among your school's stakeholders. It helps you identify
opportunities for delegation and provides real life situations to
illustrate the principles.
This atlas – and its accompanying text - is the most
comprehensive work on avian neuroanatomy available so far. It
identifies more than 900 hundred structures (versus ca. 250 in
previous avian atlases), 180 of them for the first time. It
correlates avian and mammalian neuroanatomy on the basis of
homologies and applies mammalian terms to homologous avian
structures. This is the first atlas that represents the fundamental
histogenetic domains of the vertebrate neuroaxis on the basis of
sound fate-mapping and gene expression data. This results in a
substantial increase in accuracy of delineations. Developmental
molecular biologists will find it easier to extrapolate early
neural tube patterns into mature structures. The modern trend to
shift avian neuroanatomical nomenclature toward mammalian
terminology by reference to postulated homologies has been expanded
to the entire brain, but is not yet complete. This creates a new
standard for comparative cross-reference, which can also be applied
to reptilian-mammalian comparisons.
The Mammalian Spinal Cord provides a comprehensive account of the
anatomy and histology of the spinal cord. The text covers the
cytoarchitecture, chemoarchitecture, motor neuron distribution,
long tracts, autonomic outflow, and gene expression in the spinal
cord. A feature of the book is the inclusion of segment-by-segment
atlases of the spinal cords of rat, mouse, newborn mouse, marmoset,
rhesus monkey, and human. This book is an essential reference for
researchers studying the spinal cord.
Many hundreds of thousands suffer spinal cord injuries leading to
loss of sensation and motor function in the body below the point of
injury. Spinal cord research has made some significant strides
towards new treatment methods, and is a focus of many laboratories
worldwide. In addition, research on the involvement of the spinal
cord in pain and the abilities of nervous tissue in the spine to
regenerate has increasingly been on the forefront of biomedical
research in the past years. The Spinal Cord, a collaboration with
the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, is the first
comprehensive book on the anatomy of the mammalian spinal cord.
Tens of thousands of articles and dozens of books are published on
this subject each year, and a great deal of experimental work has
been carried out on the rat spinal cord. Despite this, there is no
comprehensive and authoritative atlas of the mammalian spinal cord.
Almost all of the fine details of spinal cord anatomy must be
searched for in journal articles on particular subjects. This book
addresses this need by providing both a comprehensive reference on
the mammalian spinal cord and a comparative atlas of both rat and
mouse spinal cords in one convenient source. The book provides a
descriptive survey of the details of mammalian spinal cord anatomy,
focusing on the rat with many illustrations from the leading
experts in the field and atlases of the rat and the mouse spinal
cord. The rat and mouse spinal cord atlas chapters include
photographs of Nissl stained transverse sections from each of the
spinal cord segments (obtained from a single unfixed spinal cord),
detailed diagrams of each of the spinal cord segments pictured,
delineating the laminaeof Rexed and all other significant neuronal
groupings at each level and photographs of additional sections
displaying markers such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE), calbindin,
calretinin, choline acetlytransferase, neurofilament protein (SMI
32), enkephalin, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and
neuronal nuclear protein (NeuN).
The text provides a detailed account of the anatomy of the
mammalian spinal cord and surrounding musculoskeletal elements.
The major topics addressed are:
- development of the spinal cord
- the gross anatomy of the spinal cord and its meninges
- spinal nerves, nerve roots, and dorsal root ganglia
- the vertebral column, vertebral joints, and vertebral muscles
- blood supply of the spinal cord
- cytoarchitecture and chemoarchitecture of the spinal gray matter
- musculotopic anatomy of motoneuron groups
- tracts connecting the brain and spinal cord
- spinospinal pathways
- sympathetic and parasympathetic elements in the spinal cord
- neuronal groups and pathways that control micturition
- the anatomy of spinal cord injury in experimental animals
The atlas of the rat and mouse spinal cord has the following
features:
- Photographs of Nissl stained transverse sections from each of 34
spinal segments for the rat and mouse.
- Detailed diagrams of each of the 34 spinal segments for rat and
mouse, delineating the laminae of Rexed and all other significant
neuronal groupings at each level.
- Alongside each of the 34 Nissl stained segments, there are
additional sections displaying markers such as
acetylcholinesterase, calbindin, calretinin, choline
acetlytransferase, neurofilament protein (SMI 32), and neuronal
nuclear protein (NeuN).
- All the major motoneuron clusters are identified in relation to
the individual muscles or muscle groups they supply.
Atlas of the Developing Mouse Brain, Second Edition builds on the
features of successful first edition, providing a comprehensive and
convenient reference for all areas of the mouse brain at Fetal-Day
17.5 (E17.5), Day-of-Birth (P0), and Day-Six postnatal (P6). The
book also delineates the parts of the eye, features of the skull,
ganglia, nerves, arteries, veins, bones and foramina. This atlas is
an essential tool for researchers and students who study the
development of the mouse brain, or for those who interpret findings
from genetic manipulation.
"The Mouse Nervous System" provides a comprehensive account of
the central nervous system of the mouse. The book is aimed at
molecular biologists who need a book that introduces them to the
anatomy of the mouse brain and spinal cord, but also takes them
into the relevant details of development and organization of the
area they have chosen to study. "The Mouse Nervous System" offers a
wealth of new information for experienced anatomists who work on
mice. The book serves as a valuable resource for researchers and
graduate students in neuroscience.
