Several examples of histology atlases series of the developing rat brain have been published (Table (Table1).1). The Atlas by Sherwood and Timiras “A Stereotaxic Atlas of the Developing Rat Brain” atlas includes three postnatal time points: postnatal days P10, P21, and P39 (Sherwood and Timiras, 1970). The rat brain in stereotaxic coordinates / George Paxinos, Charles Watson Paxinos, George, 1944. The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates provides an atlas of the rat brain. The main features of this atlas are: (1) It is based on the flat-skull position, and bregma, lambda, or the midpoint of the interaural line can be used as a reference point. The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Fourth Edition is the highly successful, heavily cited atlas of choice amongst researchers using the rat as an experimental model.

B(X)K REVIEWS large doses of EACA we have not had the success he has had in preventing second haemorrhages in bad risk patients awaiting surgery. The chief problems encountered in these attempts to secure thrombosis of aneurysms by stereotactic techniques are also seen clearly in the contribution from Alksne and Rand on metallic thrombosis of intracranial aneurysms. Their technique is also very ingenious but the problems are the same - incomplete thrombosis, early breakdown of a clot, and excessive thrombosis or embolization of distal vessels. Both these techniques are of great interest and seem to have considerable promise but at this m o m e n t their results seem too unpredictable for general acceptance. The same overall c o m m e n t applies to the technique of artificial embolization of cerebral arterio-venous malformations which Luessenhop discusses very fully, though some excellent results seem to have been achieved particularly in one case of an aneurysm on the vein of Galen. However some of the problems of the technique become apparent in his description of the difficulties encountered in treating a second similar case. There is a very interesting account from Handa, Ohta and Kamijyo on the properties of plastic c o m p o u n d s used for encasing aneurysms. Of those presently available Biobond would appear the best. The chemistry is treated in a fashion understandable by the neurosurgeon and though the English tends to be quaint it is nonetheless fairly clear. There is a suggestion [page 152 ~b)] that a mono-molecular film of adhesives ought to be aimed at and that thick films are much weaker than thin films. This may be true of adhesiveness but in practice attempts to obtain excessively thin films lead to glue starvation and poor joint strengths. The o p t i m u m film thickness for epoxy adhesives is between 0.002 and 0.010 inches. In general, the book is well produced on good paper and with clear print. The reproduction of the angiograms with some exceptions is better' than is normally seen. It is unfortunate that nearly all the articles contain a number of minor errors, largely misprints, which are annoying in a book of this class. There are also examples of diagrams and angiograms wrongly labelled which is more than annoying. The speed with which the volume has been produced in order to keep abreast of surgical progress, as mentioned in the preface, is presumably responsible for these errors. However. all in all, this book can be recommended to the trainee neurosurgeon as a balanced account of present day practice and to the practising neurosurgeon because of its content of stimulating articles on various growing points. To my mind, there is one glaring omission and that is the absence of a definitive article on arterial spasm, both from the experimental and clinical aspects. This is surely the major problem in the surgery of subarachnoid haemorrhage at this time. J. R. W. GLL:AVE A Stereotaxic Atlas of the Developinq Rat Brain, both as photographs and annotated drawings; altogether 92 drawings are shown. The methodology is fully described and the quality of the illustrations is excellent. The nomenclature used is based on the revised Nomina Anatomica for the h u m a n brain. Although the stereotaxic features of the adult rat brain are already given in several excellent atlases. there is probably an argument for including such data in the present volume on the grounds of convenience. In any case, the present atlas can be highly recommended and will obviously become obligatory for workers studying the developing rat brain. by N. M. SHERWOOD AND P. S. TIMIRAS, V+ 209 pages, 191 illustrations, University of California Press, Berkeley, Los Angeles, London, 1970, 190s. The justification for the present atlas was the increasing use o f the rat for developmental studies o f brain function. Female Long-Evans rats have been studied at 10, 21 and 39 days post-partum and conventional planes are used as references for stereotaxic coordinates. The sections are presented in the frontal and sagittal planes at magnifications of 13 x and 8 × respectively. For critical regions the sections are given at 0.3 m m intervals and are displayed The Physiology of Single Human Nerve Fibres, by J. BERGMANS,328 pages, 66 illustrations, Vander, Louvain, 1970, No price given. Dr. Bergmans' investigation was carried out in the D e p a r t m e n t o f Neurology and Neurosurgery in the Catholic University o f Louvain. It is an extremely important study and d e m a n d s the careful attention o f physiologists and clinicians interested in nerve and muscle. Dr. Bergmans' method has been to stimulate the median and ulnar nerves with weak A. J. McCoMAS electrical stimuli, so as to obtain all-or-nothing responses from small muscles of the hand. It is argued that these responses correspond to activation of single motor units and result from selective excitation of individual motor axons. 'Having established the validity of this interpretation, Dr: Bergroans proceeds to show how the single fibre technique m a y yield valuable electrophysiological information on a variety of problems. The first part of the text deals with the determination of the motor unit end-plate zone, the conduction velocities of J. neuroL Sci.,1972,15:491 496 A Stereotaxic Atlas Of The Rat Brain Pdf Download![]() A Stereotaxic Atlas Of The Rat Brain PdfComments are closed.
