Atlas of the Spinal Cord

Description

The first comprehensive atlas of rodent and primate spinal cords. This atlas features histological images and labeled drawings of every segment from rat, mouse, marmoset monkey, rhesus monkey, and human spinal cords. Nissl-stained section images and matching drawings for each segment are supplemented by up to four histochemical or immunohistochemical images on a facing page. The neuron groups supplying major limb muscles are identified in each species. Constructed by the established leaders in neuroanatomical atlas development, this new atlas will be the a resource for scientists who work on rodent or primate spinal cord. Full-color photographic images of Nissl-stained sections from every spinal cord segment in each of two rodent and three primate species-over 160 Nissl plates. Comprehensively labeled diagrams to accompany each Nissl-stained section-over 160 diagrams. More than 500 photographic images of sections stained for AChE, ChAT, parvalbumin, NADPH-diaphorase, calretinin, or other markers to supplement the Nissl-stained images.
