The Primate Nervous System, Part I: Hökfelt; Bloom; Björklund: 9780444825582: Book: Medical: eCampus.com

This volume is a new, timely and fitting extension to the Handbook of Chemical Neuroanatomy, focussing on the neurochemical circuitry of the primate brain. The book will compliment the growing efforts to apply the analytical strategies of chemical neuroanatomy to the primate brain.

The goal of this volume is to develop a broad-based coverage of human and non-human primate chemical neuroanatomic details together within a volume in which details on transmitters and systems can be appreciated.

The eight comprehensive chapters that comprise this volume deal with large global concepts and datasets which not only create an initial coverage of the entire primate neuraxis, but also capture useful points of information on the chemical neuranatomy of the primate nervous system.

An excellent, informative book, and a welcome addition to the sparse literature in this field.

Scripps Research Institute, San Diego, CA. Text providing broad coverage of human and non-human primate chemical neuroanatomic details. 17 contributors, 14 U.S.
