Klappentext 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 provides a comprehensive atlas of the marmoset brain. 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. The book includes a DVD that contains a java program displaying all images! data and tables used throughout the atlas! upon purchase.

The book and DVD will be well-used references in marmoset neuroscience research for years to come and are a welcome addition to the laboratory animal practitioner's toolbox." -Stephen Denny, Laboratory Animal Practitioner, Vol. 46, No. 2, June 2013 Zusammenfassung Developing better therapies for neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases remains an enduring problem for 21st century medicine. The testing of novel therapies will continue to require a robust experimental animal model. The marmoset is an ideal animal model for modern neurological research because of the species’ convenient body size, ease of handling, and the fundamental similarity of its neuroanatomy to the human brain. The Stereotaxic and Chemoarchitectural Atlas of the Brain of the Common Marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus ) is the most detailed atlas of the marmoset brain available. An essential tool for researchers developing more effective therapies for disabling and debilitating neurological disorders, the book contains: Fully delineated, high-quality (400x m...
