The leading team of cartographers of the brain and legendary authors of the Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates have pooled 30 years of knowledge and experience in publishing neuroanatomical atlases to provide an introductory text covering neuroanatomical and brain atlasing techniques. The text introduces neuroanatomy by comparing features of the rat brain to the human brain. This is a unique and invaluable approach--model systems are increasingly used for research in neuroscience and adjacent disciplines, but relating findings to the human is a notorious problem.

Produktbeschreibung
The leading team of cartographers of the brain and legendary authors of the Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates have pooled 30 years of knowledge and experience in publishing neuroanatomical atlases to provide an introductory text covering neuroanatomical and brain atlasing techniques. The text introduces neuroanatomy by comparing features of the rat brain to the human brain. This is a unique and invaluable approach--model systems are increasingly used for research in neuroscience and adjacent disciplines, but relating findings to the human is a notorious problem. This groundbreaking text will introduce students to key techniques and teach them how to study and analyze the neuroanatomy of model systems and successfully relate their findings back to the human brain.
The authors of the most cited neuroscience publication, The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, have written this introductory textbook for neuroscience students. The text is clear and concise, and offers an excellent introduction to the essential concepts of neuroscience.

Autorenporträt
Charles Watson is a neuroscientist and public health physician. His qualifications included a medical degree (MBBS) and two research doctorates (MD and DSc). He is Professor Emeritus at Curtin University, and holds adjunct professorial research positions at the University of New South Wales, the University of Queensland, and the University of Western Australia. He has published over 100 refereed journal articles and 40 book chapters, and has co-authored over 25 books on brain and spinal cord anatomy. The Paxinos Watson rat brain atlas has been cited over 80,000 times. His current research is focused on the comparative anatomy of the hippocampus and the claustrum. He was awarded the degree of Doctor of Science by the University of Sydney in 2012 and received the Distinguished Achievement Award of the Australasian Society for Neuroscience in 2018.
