Prenatal Mouse Brain Atlas (eBook)

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.

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 sections26 High magnification images, highlighting areas of developmental interest254 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 horizontalDelineation of peripheral nerves, eyes, inner ear, ganglia and other structures in the heads of GD 12 and 14 embryosDVD with complete sets of images, labeled diagrams, and diagrams superimposed on imagesAbout 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.
