Chemical neuroanatomy of the prenatal rat brain

"This is the definitive atlas of the early and late gestational-age rat brain. It shows the development of the anatomical structures from embryonic day 13 to the day of birth, using section-by-section photomicrographs together with accompanying line diagrams. Over 750 structures are identified, giving functional as well as anatomical descriptions, including up to eight transmitter-delineated cell groups on each accompanying map. The emphasis throughout is on facilitating the identification of structures for those without advanced training in anatomy, enhanced by a comprehensive index of structures, abbreviations, temporal appearance, and spatial orientation to make pathfinding as easy as possible."--BOOK JACKET.
