title: The Rhesus Monkey Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates
author:  George Paxinos 
description: <b>The Rhesus Monkey Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates</b> is the most comprehensive, detailed atlas of the monkey brain ever constructed. The first chapter, "Photographic and Diagrammatic Atlas of the Rhesus Monkey Brain," presents 151 plates illustrating the subcortex and parts of the cortex in high magnification, and 151 corresponding diagrams complementing each image. The second chapter, "Delineation of the Rhesus Monkey Cortex on the Basis of the Distribution of a Neurofilament Protein," consists of 64 fully labeled plates depicting an entire hemisphere. Jointly, the two chapters constitute the most serious morphological work ever undertaken on the monkey.<br />Key Features<br />* Provides the first comprehensive delineations of cortical and subcortical structures of any primate species<br />* Depicts the entire brain in 151 photographs paired with 151 detailed diagrams<br />* Alternates sections stained for Nissl substance with sections reacted for acetylcholinesterase (AChE)<br />* Contains 64 fully labeled photographs of brain sections reacted with an antibody to neurofilament protein (SMI32)<br />* Features modern concepts of brain organization and a stereotaxic grid<br />* Designed to become the standard reference for databasing and PET, MRI, and electrographic studies

  This paper is organized around three major areas: (i) First, we review a series
  of our own studies on spatial cognition of monkeys that had received
  hippocampal resections or fornix transactions in infancy and that appeared to
  have recovered from their initial deficit on a left-right spatial discrimination
  task.  The results from our long-term follow up study of these monkeys
  showed that, in spite of their improved performance on left-right
  discrimination, and their facilitated spatial learning in the presence of
  allocentric landmarks, monkeys with hippocampal damage showed a
  profound impairment on the trial-unique position recognition task and on the
  recognition span task. (ii) A second major section is dedicated to present an
  overview of some experimental field studies on primate
