The rat is probably the most widely used experimental system in neurobiology. Several anatomical atlases of the rat's nervous system already exist, but this atlas is unique in that it maps the distribution of all neuroactive substances--transmitters, growth factors, modulators, hormones, and peptides--and their receptors by brain region. It begins with a useful overview of neurotransmission mechanisms. The entire brain is then presented in highly visual three-color sections. The atlas covers the synthesis, distribution, and ...

The rat is probably the most widely used experimental system in neurobiology. Several anatomical atlases of the rat's nervous system already exist, but this atlas is unique in that it maps the distribution of all neuroactive substances--transmitters, growth factors, modulators, hormones, and peptides--and their receptors by brain region. It begins with a useful overview of neurotransmission mechanisms. The entire brain is then presented in highly visual three-color sections. The atlas covers the synthesis, distribution, and functions of each class of substances in intricate detail. The authors follow this with an analysis of the structure, subtypes, and distribution of receptors. The volume will be an invaluable reference work for all researchers in neuropharmacology, neurobiology, and neuropathology.
