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.
