Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Forebrain

"Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Forebrain", featuring 242 fully labeled, large photographs, is the most comprehensive atlas of the rat forebrain ever published.

It identifies brain structure not only on the conventional Nissl-stained sections but on additional six stains of interest to neuroscientists.

This authoritative atlas provides comprehensive information about the location of chemicals in the rat forebrain, while redefining brain regions on the basis of the distribution of these substances.

It features 242 fully delineated photographic plates in a large 13" x 14" format; sets new standards of accuracy in the delineations of brain regions; and is based on a single brain sectioned in the coronal plane.

It presents at regular intervals photographs of sections stained for parvalbumin, calbindin, calretinin, neurofilament protein (SMi32), Nissl, tyrosine hydroxylase, and NADPH/diaphorase.

It is an excellent companion to "The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Compact and Fourth Editions", and "Chemoarchitectonic Atlas of the Rat Brainstem".
