This large format book sets a new standard in quality and clarity. Excellent reproduction and documentation sets this book apart from its counterparts. The main objective of Brain Maps is to provide information about rat brain anatomy that is accurate, convenient, documented, complete, and systematic. New computer and graphic techniques have been exploited to their fullest in what is sure to be an essential guide to neuroscientists in the laboratory.This work provides:• Closely spaced Nissl sections (73) all selected from one serially-sectioned, celloidin-embedded brain.• Accompanying Aligned Drawings illustrate cell groups seen with Nissl stain, and fiber tracts seen with dark-field illumination.• Development of the nervous system illustrated in a series of diagrams.•  Computer applications: drawings designed with 2D and 3D computer applications in mind• Summary Map: all cell groups in the Atlas are summarized in a 2D map of the central nervous system.• Nomenclature is documented critically from the primary neuroanatomical literature.• Large format, quality bound approx. 160 black and white plates.• Essential as a research and instructional aid.

"Computer Graphics Files" are complex drawings illustrating a series of 73 frontal sections through the rat brain. Earlier versions of these files were used to illustrate "Brain Maps: Structure of the Rat Brain" by L.W. Swanson. These files are for use by professional neuroanatomists and other workers thoroughly familiar with Adobe Illustrator 3.2 (or later versions), or other computer graphics programs such as Core1DRAW!. A detailed user guide is included in the package. With "Brain Maps" you can plot data, stack, design and crop drawings, as well as create bilateral coronal sections for preparation of publication quality prints. The drawings have been created in Adobe Illustrator 3.2 (Mac), but can be used with any later version of the program (4.0 for PC: 5.0 for Mac) Please note: lie disks provided have been formatted for PC use; they can be easily read and used by any Macintosh machine using a software package such as Access PC (Insignia Solutions Inc., 526 Clyde Avenue, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.). For Illustrator 3.2 (Mac), the following are essential: a Macintosh Plus or above, with at least 2 Mb of random-access memory (RAM); Apple Systems software version 6.0.3 or later. The following are recommended: Macintosh LC or above, with 8 Mb or more of RAM: System 7.0 software or later; a 12-inch or bigger colour monitor. For Illustrator 4.0 (PC), the following are essential: an IBM PC AT or personal System/2 or I00% compatible personal computer using a 386TM or above processor, with at least 4 RAM; Microsoft MS-DOS 3.3 or above with Windows 3.0 or later; a VGA (640 x 480) or better display adaptor and 12-inch or bigger monitor. The following are recommended: an IBM PC AT or personal system/2 or 100% compatible personal computer using a 486 or above processor, with at least 8 Mb RAM; Microsoft MS-DOS 5.0 or above with Windows 3.1 or later; a super VGA (800 x 600) or better display adaptor and a 19-inch or bigger monitor. For Illustrator 5.0 (Mac), the following are essential: a Macintosh plus or above, with at least 3.1 Mb of RAM; Apple system software version 6.0.7 or later. The following are recommended: a Macintosh LC or above, with 8 Mb or more of RAM: System 7.0 software or later; a 19-inch or bigger colour monitor. For all versions of Illustrator, these are recommended: Adobe Type Manager 2.0 or later (Adobe Systems Inc., 1585-Charleston Road, P.O. Box 7900, Mountain View, CA 94039-7900, USA), and a PostScript printer (or other laser printer with a PostScript interpreter). Any printer may be used for draft printing, but the use of a 300 or 600 dots-per-inch (dpi) printer for showing the fine differences between grey levels is recommended.
