The first edition of The Marmoset Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates (2012) was fundamental in the rapid establishment of this species as the preferred non-human primate in neuroscience research, with the atlas delineations having been adopted by all major projects using marmosets. Now, the second edition gives us the opportunity to capture 14 years of progress and introduce major enhancements:What is new in the 2nd Edition?- For the first time sagittal and horizontal planes are included based on the computational average of 20 brains. - For the first time cortical layers are identified. - For the first time major divisions of the white matter are identified on the basis of Marmoset Brain Mapping Project (https://marmosetbrainmapping.org/) (Liu et al., 2020). - Cortical and subcortical delineations are thoroughly updated to reflect advances over the last 14 years. - 197 photographic plates of coronal sections stained for Nissl, calbindin, Acetylcholinesterase and nonphosphorylated neurofilament (SMI32). - 97 diagrams with detailed delineations of Nissl and calbindin sections. - Over a hundred fully labeled photographic plates of acetylcholinesterase and SMI32 sections at regular stereotaxic intervals. - Complete and up-to-date delineation of all areas of cortex and subcortex. - Stereotaxically accurate. - Images of all the Nissl, calbindin, acetylcholinesterase, and SMI32 sections presented in the atlas as well as images of all intervening sections (not pictured in the printed atlas) stained for parvalbumin, calretinin, tyrosine hydroxylase, and myelin are available free at: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/2avycpjeg90r62zvc78wd/ACLef2IqjryWknuiYC1G4pc?rlkey=rems63bztf1m1o9ie83b75ifm&st=ay5opc1n&dl=0. - Electronic diagrams are available to purchasers of this book via a password
