Human Homologs to Brainstem Nuclei Identified in Other Animals as Revealed by Acetylcholinesterase Activity

This chapter in the first edition of the Human Nervous System illustrates the histological basis for extrapolation of structural concepts based on neuroanatomical studies of the rat ( recent edition: Paxinos-2009b ) and the mouse ( recent edition: Franklin-2008 ) to the human. Comparable illustrations for the macaque are published in Paxinos-2009a.
