Main description:

Since the publication of its first edition in 1996, Paxinos and Franklin's the "Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates" has received virtually universal acceptance in neuroscience as the authoritative source for stereotaxic coordinates and delineations. This atlas is constructed in the style of "The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates", the most cited publication in neuroscience. The completely revised and updated fourth edition of Paxinos and Franklin's the "Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates" features high-quality color plates scanned by the renowned microscopy unit of the Allen Institute for Brain Science. Constructed by the leaders in neuroanatomical atlas development, the new edition will maintain the position of the atlas as an indispensable resource for scientists working on the mouse brain.
New to this edition: full color throughout; includes a CD of all plates and diagrams, as well as Adobe Illustrator files of the diagrams, and a variety of additional useful material; coronal and sagittal diagrams are completely reworked and updated; rhombomeric borders included in sagittal figures, for the first time in mammals; and, microscopic plates are scanned with a new method in much higher quality.
