Description and Table of Contents

Description

The rat is probably the most widely used experimental system in neurobiology. This atlas maps the distribution of all the neuroactive substances - transmitters, growth factors, modulators, hormones, and peptides - and their receptors by brain region. It provides a reference work for researchers in neuropharmacology, neurobiology and neuropathology.
