      abstract = {Description This stereotaxic atlas of the ferret brain  provides detailed architectonic subdivisions of the  cortical and subcortical areas in the ferret brain using  high-quality histological material stained for cells and  myelin together with in vivo magnetic resonance (MR) images  of the same animal. The skull-related position of the  ferret brain was established according to in vivo MRI and  additional CT measurements of the skull. Functional  denotations from published physiology and connectivity  studies are mapped onto the atlas sections and onto the  brain surface, together with the architectonic  subdivisions. High-resolution MR images are provided at  levels of the corresponding histology atlas plates with  labels of the respective brain structures. The book is the  first atlas of the ferret brain and the most detailed brain  atlas of a carnivore available to date. It provides a  common reference base to collect and compare data from any  kind of research in the ferret brain.^Key Features Provides  the first ferret brain atlas with detailed delineations of  cortical and subcortical areas in frontal plane. Provides  the most detailed brain atlas of a carnivore to date.  Presents a stereotaxic atlas coordinate system derived from  high-quality histological material and in vivo magnetic  resonance (MR) images of the same animal. Covers the ferret  brain from forebrain to spinal cord at intervals of 0.6 mm  on 58 anterior-posterior levels with 5 plates each.  Presents cell (Nissl) stained frontal sections (plate 1)  and myelin stained sections (plate 2) in a stereotaxic  frame. Provides detailed delineations of brain structures  and their denomination on a Nissl stained background on a  separate plate (3). Compiles abbreviations on plate 4, a  plate that also displays the low resolution MRI of the  atlas brain with the outlines of the Nissl sections in  overlay.^Displays high-resolution MR images at intervals of  0.15 mm from another animal with labeled brain structures  as plate 5 corresponding to the anterior-posterior level of  each atlas plate. Provides detailed references used for  delineation of brain areas. Target audience of the book:  The book addresses researchers and students in  neurosciences who are interested in brain anatomy in  general (e.g., for translational purposes/comparative  aspects), particularly those who study the ferret as  important animal model of growing interest in  neurosciences.},
