Athymic Nude Rat Brain Atlas 1st Edition

Description

Your Definitive Stereotaxic Atlas of the Athymic Nude Rat Brain This book is the first stereotaxic brain atlas of the athymic nude rat, a T-cell deficient model commonly used in experimental and pre-clinical studies. This 2D vector-based atlas contains coronal, sagittal, and horizontal brain sections rendered from a single cleared specimen, enabling readers to better calculate coordinates for precise injections using stereotaxic surgery. Key Features Comprehensive Maps : Contains coronal, sagittal, and horizontal maps of the young adult athymic nude rat brain, spaced with a distance of 0.2 or 0.25 mm. Precision Targeting : The maps allow for the easy read-out of coordinates for precise injections using stereotaxic surgery to target specific structures for toxin, virus, or cell delivery. Standardized Landmarks : Uses "flat skull" Bregma and Lambda as anatomical landmarks for correct placement in the 3D environment. Specialized Content : Includes a map of the dopamine projection system as well as the distribution of the A8-A14 dopamine cell groups. Authoritative Nomenclature : Anatomical structures and nomenclature follow the standard set by the Paxinos and Watson rat brain atlases. Target Audience : A valuable resource for any neuroscientist who wishes to work with nude rats in experimental and pre-clinical studies.
