Inhaltsangabe

The Rhesus Monkey Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates is the most comprehensive and accurate atlas of the monkey brain. The fourth edition of this classic book is a complete revision featuring many improvements and upgrades. Constructed by the established leaders in neuroanatomical atlas development, the new edition will continue to be the indispensable resource for all scientists working on the primate nervous system.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

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.

Dr. Petrides is a Professor at the Montreal Neurological Institute, McGill University. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, the Royal Society of Canada and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on the neural bases of cognitive processes and involves the analysis of the functions of the frontal, temporal, and parietal neocortex and related subcortical neural structures. His research is also focussed on examination of the sulcal and gyral morphology of the human cerebral cortex and comparative architectonic studies. He has authored numerous journal articles (h-index = 88; i10-index 189) and is the author of The Human Cerebral Cortex (2011), Neuroanatomy of Language Regions of the Brain (2013) as well as co-author of 3 other atlases.

Dr. Evrard completed his Doctorate in Sciences at the University of Liège, Belgium, with postdoctoral training at Boston University, the Barrow Neurological Institute, and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics. He is a Research Scientist at the Nathan Kline Institute in the state of New York, USA, a group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics and the Center for Integrative Neuroscience in Tübingen, Germany, and a Senior Investigator at the International Center for Primate Brain Research in Shanghai, PRC. He is also a guest scientist at the Yale School of Medicine and the University of Leuven. In addition to a general interest in the organization of the primate brain, his research concentrates on the peripheral and central pathways of interoception and autonomic control in the context of complex behaviors, requiring the co-regulation of brain and bodily states, and providing the basis for subjective feelings in humans. His experiments combine architectonics, neuronal tracing, electrophysiology, functional magnetic resonance imaging and behavioral tasks. Dr. Evrard’s recent works include a new architectonic and connectivity parcellation of the insular cortex, the demonstration of the occurrence of the von Economo neuron and its projections in the macaque monkey, a mapping of bodily parts in the primate limbic cortex, and novel functional evidence for the role of the anterior insula in regulating functional brain networks.
