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.
