Critic Reviews

“From the book reviews: "This is a comprehensive 'how to' manual on stereotaxic neurosurgery in mice and rats. ... This is both a useful and essential reference guide for first timers and advanced investigators. The noradrenergic, cholinergic, neuropeptide, and serotonergic ascending and descending pathways are mapped and diagramed very clearly. Neurosurgery, Neurology, Psychiatry, med students, grad students will all find the book well written, easy to follow, and user friendly. ... I recommend this book highly to all audiences." (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2014)”
