[Not a primate related title, but sent by Academic Press. Possibly of interest where research institutions also use the rat as a biomedical model. wrprc/lj] ATLAS OF THE DEVELOPING RAT NERVOUS SYSTEM Second Edition 1994 George Paxinos School of Psychology University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia Ken W.

The Atlas of the Developing Rat Nervous System features large, high-magnification photographs of serial brain sections of embryonic and neonatal laboratory rat, with opposing fully labeled diagrams. Complementing the classic atlas by Paxinos and Watson, The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Second Edition (Academic Press, 1986), this new atlas is the standard reference for developmental neuroscientists. KEY FEATURES * Provides section-by-section photographs and accompanying labeled diagrams of the embryonic and neonatal rat brain * Shows brain development at Embryonic Days 14 (whole embryo), 16, 17, 19, as well as Postnatal Day 0 * Delineates nerves, ganglia, arteries, veins, bones, and foramina of the head on Embryonic Days 14 and 19 * Depicts 912 brain structures or their primordial counterparts * Large size in an easy-to-use, spiralbound format * 224 photographs alongside meticulously drawn diagrams depict the central and peripheral nervous system and other body organs * Depicts ages E14, E16, and E19 in the customary coronal and sagittal planes and E17 and P0 in the coronal plane WHERE TO ORDER: Academic Press 6277 Sea Harbor Drive Orlando, FL 32887 USA 1-800-321-5068 (Toll Free) 1-800-874-6418 (Fax) E-mail: ap@acad.com URL: http://academicpress.com Price: $136 (Spiral Bound) ISBN: 0125476108
