The Mouse Brain in Sterotaxic Coordinates

by Keith B.J. Franklin, George Paxinos

The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates is the first atlas in more than 20 years to provide an up-do-date diagrammatic reference illustrating the coronal plates of the mouse brain. As in the renowned Academic Press publication, The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Second Edition , the stereotaxic accuracy of each section is ensured. The standard reference marks are repeated in each structure, and the atlas is sectioned with excellent symmetry. The large, easy-to-use format displays the sections alternately stained for Nissl substance and for acetylcholinestrase. Comprising 93 clearly reproduced images and corresponding diagrams, this atlas is a must reference in every lab.
