About this book

This atlas is currently the most systematic and comprehensive atlas of the tree shrew brain. The purpose of this book is to help scientists acquire accurate coordinates of the brain regions of the tree shrew, which is becoming a popular animal model for a variety of human diseases. This atlas contains series of 192 coronal sections, 36 sagittal sections, and 49 horizontal sections using Nissl staining or acetylcholinesterase histochemistry as well as a series of diagrams in stereotaxic coordinates. Original photomicrographs are obtained at single-cell resolution. In addition, we also referred to magnetic resonance images acquired at 250 um intervals with a magnetic resonance scanner 9.4T. Many brain structures are first identified in tree shrews and accurately presented in a stereotaxic coordinate system. The Bregma coordinates system is used for the first time in this tree shrew brain atlas. The atlas represents the collaboration between two indispensable skills of brain research, neuroanatomy and stereotaxic surgery. It will be extensively used in neuroscience research, particularly tree shrew brain study, and will help graduate students and researchers understand brain anatomy and acquire accurate reference coordinates.

About the authors

Jiang-Ning Zhou is a professor and vice dean from College of Life Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China. He is the director of CAS Key Laboratory of Brain Function and Disease, and the director of the Cognitive Neural Biology branch of the Chinese Neuroscience Society. He serves as the board member for the journal “Neuroscience Bulletin” and “International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine”. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of neural diseases and mental disorders. He has published more than 100 research articles in these fields.Zhou mentored 40 Ph.D. students. In 2011 he obtained Excellent Scholar Awards from Chinese Neuroscience Society. In 2014 he received Natural Science Awards from the Ministry of Education of China.Rong-Jun Ni obtained his undergraduate degree in 2009 from Anhui University. He earned his Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2014 and began the postdoctoral training in the Department of Neurobiology, University of Science and Technology of China from 2014. Dr. Ni’s research focuses on the brain anatomy, neural circuit, neuropeptides and behaviors of tree shrews. He has published several papers in SCI journals and authored one chapter in the Basic Biology and Disease Models of Tree Shrews. These studies are funded by the Natural Science Foundation of China and the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities.
