Description

The Mouse Nervous System provides a comprehensive account of the central nervous system of the mouse. It is aimed at molecular biologists who need a book that introduces them to the anatomy of the mouse brain and spinal cord, but also takes them into the relevant details of development and organization of the area they have chosen to study. The book offers a wealth of new information for experienced anatomists who work on mice, and serves as a valuable resource for researchers and graduate students in neuroscience. Key features include: –  Systematic consideration of the anatomy and connections of all regions of the brain and spinal cord by the authors of the most cited rodent brain atlases; – detailed analysis of gene expression during development of the forebrain by Luis Puelles, the leading researcher in this area; – examples of the use of mouse models in the study of neurological illness. 806 p.

This book, having been composed by professionals in the fields of neurology and anatomy, shows how complicated the mouse brain actually is. Of the 33 chapters devoted to the anatomy of the mouse brain, the first three are about its stages of development. These earlier chapters also include past experiments which provide support for the facts about development.

This valuable resource serves as an introductory guide to neuroscience for molecular biologists, provides insight on the new discoveries of gene expression, and highlights that mice are unique as compared to the more commonly studied rats.

A textbook of this size is expected to contain an abundance of information about the nervous system of the mouse, which it does. Although its content is focused on an audience of molecular biologists and neuroscientists, the cleverly organized layout offers enough background knowledge for any reader to be able to understand the later chapters when human diseases, using the mouse brain as a model, are discussed. This book is highly recommended for someone striving to learn about the mouse nervous system in great detail.
