Overview

Written for international neuroscientists engaged in research of neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease, as well as professionals working in laboratories conducting pharmacokinetic studies, this book provides a comprehensive atlas of the marmoset brain. The atlas provides precise stereotaxic co-ordinates, functionally important chemoarchitectural information, and estimates for the numbers of neurons within important brain regions and nuclei. It also provides information for assessing the efficacy of treatments in marmoset models. The book includes a DVD that contains a java program displaying all images, data and tables used throughout the atlas, upon purchase.

[This book] provides researchers the most comprehensive collection of marmoset brain images gathered in one reference to date. The 75 black and white plates in the hardbound book thoroughly map all of the areas of the marmoset brain ... . The accompanying DVD presents the plates in vivid color, increasing the image detail and their portability. The book's inclusion of neural structure volumetric data, MRI images, stereotaxic references, and immunohistochemically mapped chemoarchitectural sections qualifies it as a seminal marmoset brain reference. The comprehensive scope of this atlas renders it a vital reference for laboratory animal veterinarians supporting marmoset colonies and reviewing neuroscience studies. ... The book and DVD will be well-used references in marmoset neuroscience research for years to come and are a welcome addition to the laboratory animal practitioner's toolbox. -Stephen Denny, Laboratory Animal Practitioner, Vol. 46, No. 2, June 2013
