The Cortex of the Rat

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the development of stereotaxic atlases for the rat brain, the book discusses the historical significance of early attempts, particularly Krieg's 1946 atlas, which, despite its rough and distorted schematic drawings, laid the groundwork for future neuroanatomical studies. It highlights the importance of accurate electrode placement for advanced research and notes the influence of Krieg's work on subsequent experimental approaches. Additionally, it acknowledges the contributions of Konig and Klippel's 1963 atlas, while addressing the evolving understanding of brain structures that has emerged since.
