Atlas of Prenatal Rat Brain Development
Authors - Joseph Altman Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana
Shirley A. Bayer Indiana University and Purdue University at Indianapolis

Description

The result of 3 decades of original research and instruction by internationally referenced authors, Drs. Joseph Altman and Shirley A. Bayer, the Atlas of Prenatal Rat Brain Development provides a complete, state-of-the-art presentation of the developing prenatal rat brain. With the aid of advanced computer graphics, Altman and Bayer revolutionize the study of the highly vulnerable prenatal brain and bring us closer to understanding its malfunctions, deficits, and abnormalities. Their contributions to the field of brain research, and hence to our knowledge of brain disorders, are unsurpassed.

The Atlas contains more than 265 plates-each plate accompanied by a computer-aided drawing, a 3-dimensional reconstruction of brain slices never before achieved with such accuracy and clarity, and a new, user-friendly alphanumeric coding system that allows for easy identification of brain regions. The ONLY Atlas to present from 20 to 35 plates each of 10 embryonic ages in sagittal and coronal planes-2 to 3 times more ages than any other Atlas. The highest quality micrographs of brain regions-selected and cut with
the unparalleled skill of the authors. Unprecedented 3-D reconstructions of the brain at each embryonic age .Simplified and more rational alphanumeric coding system-more consistent and user-friendly than any other coding system presently in use.

Incomparable computer-aided illustrations of brain regions at each embryonic age. Detailed and logical classification of the germinal matrix at early stages 3 decades of original research by Altman and Bayer, two of the world's leading authorities in developmental neurobiology. A double systematic and synonym index for the
unique advantage of cross-referencing A hardbound, lay-flat binding for easy access.

Anatomy of the Rat            
by Eunice Chace Greene

This classic and basic reference for all researchers using laboratory rats includes 339 precisely detailed drawings, most full page and color. The large format (8.5x11) and clarity of the presentations make this book as valuable on the laboratory bench as in the library. In our opinion, no other text even comes close. This book is spiral bound so as to lay flat on the lab bench.

Biochemical Techniques in the Heart

Author - John H. McNeill Professor and Dean, Faculty of
Pharmaceutical Sciences, The University of British Columbia, Vancouver
Series Edited by John H. McNeill

Step-by-step recipes for success in assessments of cardiac function. Volumes in the Methods in the Life Sciences--Methods in Pharmacology Series

About the Editor :John H. McNeill is a professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology and Dean of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. Over the past 20 years, Dr. McNeill has made outstanding
contributions toward the molecular and functional understanding of cardiovascular regulation in a variety of pathological states. His research work in the area of diabetic cardiomyopathy is world renowned and has earned him several national and international
awards. Recently, he was awarded the Killam Award at the University of British Columbia for his outstanding contributions in cardiovascular research.

Currently, Dr. McNeill's research focuses on drug discovery and evaluation of anti-diabetic and anti-hypertensive agents. CRC Press is proud to have Dr. McNeill involved as Series Editor of the Methods in the Life Sciences--Methods in Pharmacology series
and as a book editor of these new titles.

The latest, most innovative experimental techniques for understanding physiological and pathological cardiac regulation. These unique books are practical, accessible guides to the main experimental techniques and models used in examining in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro cardiac function in animals.  Step-by-step descriptions provide you with the recipe of each technique--setting up the technique, procurement of equipment, sample data, calculations and conversions, problems and trouble shooting, adapting to other species, modifications, and applicability. Straightforward descriptions, diagrams, flow charts
and figures make the manuals easy to understand and use in the laboratory. Undoubtedly, these texts will be great assets to cardiovascular physiologists, pharmacologists, experimental cardiologists, and students of physiology and pharmacology.  Examines the essential tools and techniques used in experimental cardiology.

Description

Biochemical Techniques in the Heart fully describes classical biochemical measurements of parameters involved in contraction and relaxation in the heart. This fully detailed guide tells you how to make preparations of sarcoplasmic reticulum, sarcolemma, and
cardiomyocytes and how to measure sodium-calcium and sodium-hydrogen exchange. Two chapters explain the measurement of the important enzyme sodium-potassium ATPase.
