Paxinos and Ashwell''s Atlas of the Developing Rat Nervous System, Fourth Edition, builds on the many excellent features of previous editions that have made this book the most cited atlas of the developing rat brain. It provides the most comprehensive depiction of not only the structures in the brain and spinal cord, but also of the peripheral nervous system and target organs that are important for developmental neurobiologists, allowing the user to follow neural structures through the developing embryo in both time and space. The nomenclature and identification of structures in this edition have been thoroughly updated to ensure accuracy and compatibility.- Provides detailed and accurate coverage of the developing rat nervous system from Embryonic Day 11 to Day of Birth- Contains 200 photographs and accompanying diagrams of coronal or sagittal sections of rats aged E11 – E19- Presents new sections on Histology, Neurogenetics, Imaging, MRI Histology and Panneuronal Markers- Delineates brain structures and peripheral nerves, ganglia, arteries, veins, muscles, bones and other important organs- Serves as an essential tool for researchers in the interpretation of findings resulting from the genetic manipulation of brain development- Includes the Expert Consult eBook version, compatible with PC, Mac, and most mobile devices and eReaders, which allows readers to browse, search, and interact with content

**Selected for Doody’s Core Titles� 2024 in Neuroscience**MRI/DTI Atlas of the Human Brainstem in Transverse and Sagittal Planes presents a detailed view of the human brainstem in DTI/MRI. It is the first ever MRI or histological atlas to present detailed diagrams of sagittal views of the brainstem. Presenting data of unprecedented quality, images are juxtaposed with detailed diagrams in the transverse and sagittal planes. The atlas features a 50 micron resolution for the GRE and 200 microns for the FAC and DWI, 8000 times higher than that seen in a clinical MRI and 1000 times higher than that seen in a clinical DTI scan, all based on one brain.

This atlas is important for neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, pathologists, anatomists, neurophysiologists, radiologists, radiotherapists (e.g., for cyberknife guidance), and graduate students in neuroscience.

Presents the first ever detailed MRI-DTI atlas on the human brainstemDiscusses primary data to help researchers identify brainstem structures in their own preparations from neuroanatomical, physiological, neuropharmacological and gene expression studiesAccompanies the gold standard reference on the neuroanatomy of the human nervous system for neuroscientists and experimental psychologistsIncludes the Expert Consult eBook version that is compatible with PC, Mac and most mobile devices and eReaders, thus allowing readers to browse, search and interact with content

Neurobiology of Monotremes brings together current information on the development, structure, function and behavioural ecology of the monotremes. The monotremes are an unusual and evolutionarily important group of mammals showing striking behavioural and physiological adaptations to their niches. They are the only mammals exhibiting electroreception (in the trigeminal sensory pathways) and the echidna shows distinctive olfactory specialisations. The authors aim to close the current gap in knowledge between the genes and developmental biology of monotremes on the one hand, and the adult structure, function and ecology of monotremes on the other. They explore how the sequence ''embryonic structure › adult structure › behaviour'' is achieved in monotremes and how this differs from other mammals. The work also combines a detailed review of the neurobiology of monotremes with photographic and diagrammatic atlases of the sectioned adult brains and peripheral nervous system of the short-beaked echidna and platypus. Pairing of a detailed review of the field with the first published brain atlases of two of the three living monotremes will allow the reader to immediately relate key points in the text to features in the atlases and will extend a universal system of brain nomenclature developed in eutherian brain atlases by G Paxinos and colleagues to monotremes.
