Prenatal Mouse Brain Atlas : Color images and annotated diagrams of: Gestational Days 12, 14, 16 and 18 Sagittal, coronal and horizontal section

The **__Prenatal Mouse Brain Atlas__** is the only comprehensive book available for studies of mouse brain development from early embryonic to late fetal stages. Color images of whole, hematoxylin, and eosin stained sagittal, coronal, and horizontal sections are provided at four different ages. In addition, high magnification images are included that highlight areas of developmental interest. The atlas is designed to support research of normal and abnormal brain development in developmental neuroscience, gene manipulation, molecular biology, and neurotoxicology. **Key Features:** * Color images of hematoxylin and eosin stained sections * 26 High magnification images, highlighting areas of developmental interest * 254 images and matching diagrams with outlined and annotated structures: Gestational Day (GD) 12 heads: 16 GD 12 sagittal 22 GD 12 coronal 18 GD 12 horizontal GD 14 heads: 20 GD 14 sagittal 33 GD 14 coronal 24 GD 14 horizontal GD 16 brains: 16 GD 16 sagittal 30 GD 16 coronal 17 GD 16 horizontal GD 18 brains: 17 GD 18 sagittal 26 GD 18 coronal 15 GD 18 horizontal * Delineation of peripheral nerves, eyes, inner ear, ganglia and other structures in the heads of GD 12 and 14 embryos * DVD with complete sets of images, labeled diagrams, and diagrams superimposed on images **About the author:** Dr. Uta Schambra is Associate Professor in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at Quillen College of Medicine, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, Tennessee, USA.

"Prenatal Mouse Brain Atlas" is the only book available for studies of the mouse brain before birth. A previous edition, "Atlas of the Prenatal Mouse Brain", was used by researchers working on normal brain development and abnormal development (toxicological and teratological studies), which has recently gained particular importance in genetic studies. Since the completion of the Human Genome Project, identification of human genes has allowed researchers to produce transgenic mice to study individual genes in the brain. The mouse is ideal for these genetic projects, but since mice are notorious for killing defective off-spring, the studies on the effects of gene manipulations often have to be performed on prenatal mouse brains. This new greatly expanded edition provides an easily accessible tool for researchers in the fields of normal and abnormal brain development for their genetic, toxicological, teratological and developmental studies. Users will be able to compare structure shown in the Atlas to what they see in the microscope This is the only book available for studies of the mouse brain before birth. It presents a complete mapping of the developing mouse brain that features imaging of whole brain sections. Users will be able to compare structure shown in the Atlas to what they see in the microscope. This new, greatly expanded edition provides an easily accessible tool for researchers in the fields of normal and abnormal brain development.
