Beschreibung:
Written for international neuroscientists engaged in research of neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease, as well as professionals working in laboratories conducting pharmacokinetic studies, this book is the first comprehensive stereotaxic atlas of all parts of the marmoset brain, including up-to-date data on cortical areas. The atlas provides precise stereotaxic co-ordinates, functionally important chemoarchitectural information, and estimates for the numbers of neurons within important brain regions and nuclei. It also provides information for assessing the efficacy of treatments in marmoset models.
