The Sheep Brain: A Photographic Series

I liked how detailed the book was it helped me understand the anatomy of the sheep’s brain but wished it was in color. The book was bigger than expected.

We use the sheep brain in my neuroanatomy lab. This is a helpful tool, although I don't use it all that much. I think it would be better if the pictures were in color.

This book is required for my neuroanatomy course and it is easy to read with great pictures of the sheep brain. I will be using this book as a guide for my master's project on the Grizzly Bear's Brain!

It's perfect. No one needs more words to read that don't say anything new. No one needs more words to read that don't say anything new.

Has everything I need

First off, you will also want The Sheep Brain: A Basic Guideby Richard K. Cooley to go along with this. This book is more lab-manual style then the other book, but has the same great qualities - it is meant to be right by your side when you are dissecting, not in the library. If you're concerned, i\t's easy to photocopy for personal use. The main thing I like about this and the other book is that the price is right for any budget. You shouldn't have to pay more for the book than you do for the brains :)

An excellent manual. The manual provides sagittal, horizontal and coronal views of the sheep brain, with slices that are of excellent quality. In addition, there are gross dissections that allow students an excellent understanding of the relations between the basic structures of the ventral brain. Most of us who get sheep brains for our labs from laboratory supply houses can only dream of the cranial nerves shown in clear detail here. At the University of Guelph, we are one of the few holdout universities that offer the sheep brain dissection to large introductory biopsychology classes, and although excellent photographic series are available on the Web, nothing can replace actually going through a sheep brain. This manual is very, very helpful in this pursuit. Highly recommended.
