An Atlas of the Sheep Brain

This is the first modern, full-color, comprehensive atlas of the brain of the domestic sheep, featuring photographs of Nissl-stained coronal hemi-sections and complementary schematics of major nuclei and fiber tracts. Also presented are beautiful, full-color photos and schematics of the whole sheep brain for aid in student dissection and to identify major functional systems and their pathways. Each copy of this unique atlas includes a free accompanying CD-ROM containing photomicrographs and schematics that can best be viewed on computer.

This is an indispensable resource for all neuroscientists (basic and clinical), molecular biologists, genomicists and genomics researchers, informatics researchers, pharmaceutical researchers, and students using sheep and sheep brains as an animal model. The atlas is also of interest for teachers and students in neuroanatomy, neuroendocrinology, and veterinary programs using sheep brains for lab exercises.
