Atlas of Histology of the Juvenile Rat should be of interest to toxicologic pathologists, toxicologists, and other biological scientists who are interested in the histomorphology of juvenile rats. For several decades the laboratory rat has been used extensively in nonclinical toxicology studies designed to detect potential human toxicity of drugs, agrochemicals, industrial chemicals, and environmental hazards. These studies traditionally have involved young adult rats that are 8-10 weeks of age as studies are started. It is becoming increasingly apparent that children and young animals may have different responses to drug/chemical exposures, therefore, regulatory agencies are emphasizing toxicology studies in juvenile animals. While the histologic features of organs from young adult and aged laboratory rats are well known, less is known about the histologic features of organs from juvenile rats. Final histologic maturity of many organs is achieved postnatally, thus immature histologic features must be distinguished from chemical- or drug-related effects. While this postnatal organ development is known to exist as a general concept, detailed information regarding postnatal histologic development is not readily available. The Atlas includes organs that are typically sampled in nonclinical toxicology studies and presents the histologic features at weekly intervals, starting at birth and extending through postnatal day 42. - Written and edited by highly experienced, board-certified toxicologic pathologists - Includes more than 700 high-resolution microscopic images from organs that are typically examined in safety assessment toxicology studies - Detailed figure legends and chapter narratives present the salient features of each organ at each time interval - Figures are available for further study via Elsevier's Virtual Microscope, which allows viewing of microscopic images at higher magnification - Valuable resource for toxicologic pathologists who are confronted with interpretation of lesions in juvenile rats in situations where age-matched concurrent controls are not available for comparison, e.g., with unscheduled decedents - Figures are available for further study on ScienceDirect with Virtual Microscope, which allows viewing of microscopic images at higher magnification

The previous two editions of the Human Nervous System have been the standard reference for the anatomy of the central and peripheral nervous system of the human. The work has attracted nearly 2,000 citations, demonstrating that it has a major influence in the field of neuroscience. The 3e is a complete and updated revision, with new chapters covering genes and anatomy, gene expression studies, and glia cells. The book continues to be an excellent companion to the Atlas of the Human Brain, and a common nomenclature throughout the book is enforced. Physiological data, functional concepts, and correlates to the neuroanatomy of the major model systems (rat and mouse) as well as brain function round out the new edition. - Adopts standard nomenclature following the new scheme by Paxinos, Watson, and Puelles and aligned with the Mai et al. Atlas of the Human Brain (new edition in 2007) - Full color throughout with many new and significantly enhanced illustrations - Provides essential reference information for users in conjunction with brain atlases for the identification of brain structures, the connectivity between different areas, and to evaluate data collected in anatomical, physiological, pharmacological, behavioral, and imaging studies

This book is a companion to the atlas of the adult rat brain (Brain Maps: Structure of the Rat Brain, Elsevier, 1992), using a consistent approach to nomenclature and graphical representation. The two goals of the approach used for the book, are to clarify the basic structural plan of the mammalian brain, and to generate computer graphics maps for summarizing related information, using the rat as a particular model. Included is also a discussion of how similar the development of rat and mouse brains may be, and thus how useful the maps may be as a guide to mouse brain development. The heart of the book is, of course, the atlases of the brain at progressive stages of embryogenesis. Nine representative ages are used, from the simple neural plate stage, to a time just before birth. At each stage, enough levels are presented to illustrate the major known structural features, with additional supporting planes and photomicrographs. The second component of the book discusses the classical approach to interpreting the gross structure of the developing brain, while a third component is more theoretical, and deals with methods to produce flattened maps or footprints of the central nervous system. Finally problems associated with identifying specific structures in the embryonic brain, and the many inconsistencies found in nomenclature associated with the developing and adult rat brain are presented.
