Description
Paxinos and Franklin's The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Compact Fifth Edition, is the compact version of the most widely used and cited atlas of the mouse brain in print. It emulates in design and accuracy Paxinos and Watson’s The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, the most cited publication in neuroscience. The compact edition provides the coronal plates and diagrams of the full mouse atlas in a smaller, more convenient spiral format and at a student friendly price. High resolution digital photographs of the coronal plane of section from the full 5th edition complement the coronal drawings. Unique to the compact, it includes an introduction to the use of the atlas in stereotaxic surgery.
Key Features
- Contains 100 coronal diagrams that were fully revised for this new edition
- Includes 100 coronal photographic plates produced from directly scanned, very high-resolution images of the biological sections (done at the Allen Institute)
- Provides a beginner's guide with 25 pages on conducting stereotaxic surgery and how to use the atlas
- Presents surface views of the brain with labels over the major structures
- Uses the best ontology tree (nomenclature based on the development of the brain) with universal applications across mammals
