This is the definitive atlas of the early and late gestational-age rat brain. It traces the development of anatomical structures from embryonic day 13 to the day of birth, using section-by-section photomicrographs together with accompanying line diagrams. Over 750 structures are identified. Their functional as well as anatomical descriptions are provided, and up to eight transmitter-delineated cell groups are shown on each accompanying map. The emphasis throughout is on facilitating the identification of structure for those without an advanced training in anatomy. The volume features a full index of structures, abbreviations, temporal appearance, and spatial orientation to make pathfinding as easy as possible. With over 230 micrographs of superb quality, this developmental atlas will be an essential resource for all researchers in developmental, cell and molecular neurobiology.
