Bøker av George Paxinos

A River Divided follows Evelyn, a geneticist and amateur archeologist, who discovers a tomb while vacationing in Israel. Believing she has found the remains of Christ, she attempts to revive the DNA found preserved at the site so that she can clone Him. But with human cloning being both illegal and unprecedented, she takes the risk of carrying the embryo herself. Though more a scientist than a zealot, she wants to do everything to bring Him back to the world. If her experiment were successful, the consequence could be the salvation of a dying Earth.The result of her daring discovery is the birth of identical twins Christopher and José, who are raised apart and unaware of each other's existence- one in the affluent suburbs of Sydney and the other in the slums of Buenos Aires. As different artists would sculpt different statues from the same block of marble, different environments produce different characters out of the same DNA. The twins are destined to clash, adversaries in an almighty battle for the Amazon. Science and idealism are woven together in this novel about the search for meaning, for love, and for an understanding of what is important for us both as individuals and as actors in the environment.

**Selected for Doody’s Core Titles® 2024 in Neuroscience** MRI/DTI Atlas of the Human Brainstem in Transverse and Sagittal Planes presents a detailed view of the human brainstem in DTI/MRI. It is the first ever MRI or histological atlas to present detailed diagrams of sagittal views of the brainstem. Presenting data of unprecedented quality, images are juxtaposed with detailed diagrams in the transverse and sagittal planes. The atlas features a 50 micron resolution for the GRE and 200 microns for the FAC and DWI, 8000 times higher than that seen in a clinical MRI and 1000 times higher than that seen in a clinical DTI scan, all based on one brain. This atlas is important for neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, pathologists, anatomists, neurophysiologists, radiologists, radiotherapists (e.g., for cyberknife guidance), and graduate students in neuroscience.

Paxinos and Petrides' The Rhesus Monkey Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates is the most comprehensive and accurate atlas of the monkey brain currently available. The fourth edition of this classic book will be a complete revision, featuring many improvements and upgrades. Containing coronal diagrams and accompanying photographic plates spaced at 120 µm intervals, this atlas follows the same nomenclature and abbreviations conventions as the mouse, rat, chicken, and human brain atlases published under George Paxinos¿ leadership. This atlas is suitable for researchers who work with both monkeys and humans. Constructed by the established leaders in neuroanatomical atlas development, the new edition will again be the indispensable resource for all scientists working on the primate nervous system.

100 thoroughly revised coronal diagrams and accompanying photographic plates spaced at approximately 120 µm intervals 32 thoroughly revised sagittal diagrams and accompanying photographic plates 30 thoroughly revised horizontal diagrams and accompanying photographic plates Photographic plates printed from high resolution digital images in color The most accurate and virtually universally used stereotaxic coordinate system Over 800 structures identified Includes the Expert Consult eBook version, compatible with PC, Mac, and most mobile devices and eReaders, which allows readers to browse, search, and interact with content

Paxinos and Ashwell's Atlas of the Developing Rat Nervous System, Fourth Edition, builds on the many excellent features of previous editions that have made this book the most cited atlas of the developing rat brain. It provides the most comprehensive depiction of not only the structures in the brain and spinal cord, but also of the peripheral nervous system and target organs that are important for developmental neurobiologists, allowing the user to follow neural structures through the developing embryo in both time and space. The nomenclature and identification of structures in this edition have been thoroughly updated to ensure accuracy and compatibility.

The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, Compact Seventh Edition, is a smaller sized (8.5 x 11inch), abridged version of the most referenced work in neuroscience (over 35,000 citations for this atlas). The compact edition provides the coronal plates and diagrams of the current seventh edition in a smaller more convenient spiral format and at a student friendly price. This book includes an introduction for students to some of the major current concepts in neuroanatomy: neuromeres and brain development. Students and seasoned researchers will find herein the first major unified nomenclature ontology tree based on development. The atlas features coronal photographic plates and juxtaposed diagrams. The full-sized seventh edition also features the sagittal and horizontal planes.

Providing scientists with an atlas of the rat brain, this illustrated book includes: 161 coronal diagrams and 161 coronal photographic plates from a single brain spaced at constant 120-micron intervals; 19 sagittal diagrams and 19 sagittal photographic plates; and, 27 horizontal diagrams and 27 horizontal photographic plates.
