The chicken is the standard model for avian and vertebrate brain anatomy, particularly in development. The Chick Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates contains 200 coronal plates and diagrams, 40 sagittal plates and diagrams, and 20 horizontal plates and diagrams, illustrated in stereotaxic coordinates. This book is essential for anyone studying the physiology and function of the chick brain.
* Presents the highest level of anatomical detail currently unavailable* Juxtaposes histology with diagrams for ease of study* Employs standarized use of homologies, nomenclature, and abbreviation similar to that in other Elsevier atlases by George Paxinos
Academic clinicians and graduate level and post-doctoral students in neuroscience, cell biology, physiology, cognitive psychology (learning and imprinting), and developmental biology.

George Paxinos
George Paxinos has written 62 books on the brain of humans, monkeys, rodents and birds. His first atlas, The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, is the most cited neuroscience publication. His Atlas of the Human Brain received The Award for Excellence in Publishing in Medical Science (Assoc American Publishers, 1997) and The British Medical Association Illustrated Book Award (2016). His eco-fiction book A River Divided (georgepaxinos.com.au) considers the question of whether the brain in the Goldilocks Zone - the right “size” for survival.
