1. Generalities, procedures and background information
2. Rationale for names applied in the atlas
3. Literature cited
4. List of abbreviations and explanations
5. Brain structures classified topographically by regions

• Color photographs and matching diagrams of 65 coronal, 23 sagittal and 9 horizontal 140 micron-thick sections reacted histochemically for acetylcholinesterase (AChE).
• Thoroughly revised drawings. Updated view of the pallium, including the new concept of homology between the lateral pallium and the mammalian claustro-insular complex.
• Extensive introductory text and bibliography, presenting the background information, methodology and justification of delineations.
• For the first time in any species, this atlas depicts the fate-mapped natural embryonic boundaries in the postnatal brain. For the first time, we present color images of all the 6 histological stains (AChE, Nissl, TH, calbindin, calretinin and parvalbumin) on which delineations are based (accompanying Expert Consult eBook).
• Includes the Expert Consult eBook version, compatible with PC, Mac, and most mobile devices and eReaders, which allows readers to browse, search, and interact with content.
• The eBook also contains annotatable AI files of diagrams for use by researchers.
