The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates is the most widely used and cited atlas of the mouse brain in print. It provides researchers and students with both accurate stereotaxic coordinates for laboratory use, and detailed delineations and indexing of structures for reference. The accompanying DVD provides drawings of brains structures that can be used as templates for making figures for publication. The 3rd edition is both a major revision and an expansion of previous editions. Delineations and photographs in the horizontal plane of section now complement the coronal and sagittal series, and all the tissue sections are now shown in high resolution digital color photography. The photographs of the sections and the intermediate sections are also provided on the accompanying DVD in high-resolution JP 2000 format. The delineations of structures have been revised, and naming conventions made consistent with Paxinos and Watson's Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, 6th Edition. The 3rd edition of this atlas is now in more practical 14"x11" format for convenient lab use.
New to this edition: * Full color throughout * Includes a CD of all plates and diagrams, as well as Adobe Illustrator files of the diagrams, and a variety of additional useful material * Coronal and sagittal diagrams are completely reworked and updated * Rhombomeric borders included in sagittal figures, for the first time in mammals * Microscopic plates are scanned with a new method in much higher quality

Audience: Neuroscientists and researchers in related fields such as cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, and psychology who are working with the mouse as an experimental model.
I am an associate at TSRI in La Jolla. As long as I have worked here, we have used this atlas, and I have not yet found a better one!

This is an industry standard and well constructed. The micrographs are not terrific but the inked, idealized lucida renderings are the heart of this atlas. Pricey but an invaluable guide.
