Atlas of the Neonatal Rat Brain PDF

Preface

he rat brain develops enormously after birth and the changes are very rapid. We have attempted to prepare a photographic atlas representing the neonatal rat brain at postnatal (P) days P-1, P-7, and P-14. This atlas illustrates the main anatomical features at these three ages.

It will serve the needs of researchers and students who are interested in postnatal development, slice cultures, developmental disorders, neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology, neurobiochemistry, and neuropathology of rats. We hope that this atlas will provide a template for comparative studies with other species and numerous animal models of brain pathology in rats.
