The text is clear and concise, and offers an excellent introduction to the essential concepts of neuroscience. * Based on contemporary neuroscience research rather than old-style medical school neuroanatomy * Thorough treatment of motor and sensory systems * A detailed chapter on human cerebral cortex * The neuroscience of consciousness, memory, emotion, brain injury, and mental illness * A comprehensive chapter on brain development * A summary of the techniques of brain research * A detailed glossary of neuroscience terms * Illustrated with over 130 color photographs and diagrams This book will inspire and inform students of neuroscience. It is designed for beginning students in the health sciences, including psychology, nursing, biology, and medicine. * Clearly and concisely written for easy comprehension by beginning students * Based on contemporary neuroscience research rather than the concepts of old-style medical school neuroanatomy * Thorough treatment of motor and sensory systems * A detailed chapter on human cerebral cortex * Discussion of the neuroscience of conscience, memory, cognitive function, brain injury, and mental illness * A comprehensive chapter on brain development * A summary of the techniques of brain research * A detailed glossary of neuroscience terms * Illustrated with over 100 color photographs and diagrams

The chicken is the standard model for avian and vertebrate brain anatomy, particularly in development. "The Chick Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates" contains 200 coronal plates and diagrams, 40 sagittal plates and diagrams, and 20 horizontal plates and diagrams, illustrated in stereotaxic coordinates. This book is essential for anyone studying the physiology and function of the chick brain. It presents the highest level of anatomical detail currently unavailable. It also presents Juxtaposes histology with diagrams for ease of study and employs standarized use of homologies, nomenclature, and abbreviation similar to that in other Elsevier atlases by George Paxinos.
