Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Developing Mouse Brain ANNOTATION
"...state of the art in neurochemical mapping, presenting more than 100 full-color plates, photomicrographs using classic Nissl stain, and coronal and sagittal sections...a full-coloe look at the developing mouse brain."
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Representing the state-of-the-art in neurochemical mapping, Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Developing Mouse Brain provides a complete, full-color look at the developing mouse brain. Hundreds of coronal sections are presented, clearly illustrating structures at progressive stages of brain development. Features: 210 pages with 105 full-color plates of more than 500 coronal sections; 5 developmental ages represent the medically significant period of brain development; top-quality color photomicrographs produced using classic Nissl stain, as well as 5 additional chemical markers that reveal specific neuron locations; sagittal sections on each plate clearly mark the location of the coronal section; whole coronal sections on each plate provide information about surrounding landmarks associated with the head; plates include slightly more than half of each brain section so that the midline is visible; clearly labeled plates, each with an abbreviation key, make it easy to find and identify structures; detailed indexes allow quick location of specific structures at various stages of brain development.

Intended as a resource for research scientists' identification of major anatomical structures (and functions) of the developing murine brain. To reduce the subjectivity that can occur when deriving maps based solely on cytoarchitectonic criteria and conventional staining methods, Jacobowitz (National Institute of Mental Health, Laboratory of Clinical Science; Bethesda, MD) and Abbott (veterinary anatomy and public health, Texas A&M U.) develop chemoarchitectectonic maps based on immunocytochemcial markers and a histochemical stain. Includes 100 plus color plates, and supplementary text: introduction, methods, list of abbreviations, and list of structures. 8.5x11.25 . Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
