Description: Key Features: The first detailed atlas on the human brainstem in more than forty years; delineated as accurately as The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Second Edition (Paxinos/Watson, 1986), the most cited book in neuroscience; based on a single brain from a 59-year-old male with no medical history of neurological psychiatric illness; represents all areas of the medulla, pons, and midbrain in the plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of the brainstem; consists of 64 plates and 64 accompanying diagrams with an interplate distance of half a millimeter; photographs of Nissl and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) stained sections at alternate levels; establishes systematically the human homologs to nuclei identified in the brainstem of the rat; reviewed by leading neuroanatomists; and an accurate and convenient guide for students, researchers, and pathologists.
