Stereotaxic Map, Cytoarchitectonic and Neurochemical Summary of the Hypothalamic Nuclei, Rat

  • Chapter
Endocrine System

Part of the book series: Monographs on Pathology of Laboratory Animals ((LABORATORY))

Abstract

In the past 20 years several stereotaxic atlases have been published. Detailed maps are available of the hypothalamus or whole brain of most frequently used laboratory animals and also of domestic animals. They are listed in Table 20.
