Beschreibung
This is the first digital atlas of the degu brain with microscopic features simultaneously in Nissl sections and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). As an experimental animal model, the degu contributes to a variety of medical research fields in diabetes, hyperglycemia, pancreatic function, and adaptation to high altitude, among others. Recently the degu has gained increasing importance in the field of neuroscience, particularly in studies evaluating the relationship between sociality and cognitive brain functions, and in studies pertaining to the evolutional aspects of the acquisition of tool-use abilities. Furthermore, aging-related brain dysfunction in humans can be studied using this animal model in addition to mammals with much longer lifespans. This brain atlas is constructed to provide histological and volume-rendered information simultaneously, fitting with any spatial coordination in brain positioning. It can be a useful guide to degus as well as to other rodents for studies ofbrain structures conducted using MRI or other contemporary examination methods with volume-rendering functions.
Helps the reader to identify individual brain structures in the degu by including numerous histological images with delineation lines
Presents anatomical information simultaneously from Nissl and magnetic resonance images
Readers can enjoy 3D views of the reconstructed brain and freely oriented planes of sections at a dedicated website described in the book.
