A website devoted to comparative anatomy of the brains of mammals and birds, with an emphasis on Australian native fauna.
This site provides delineated atlases of the brains of representative Australian and American marsupials, monotremes and birds. This also includes atlases of brain development in a variety of marsupials during the first few weeks of pouch life. The website explores aspects of marsupial and monotreme brain organisation and development in an evolutionary and functional context.
Anyone wishing to use atlas plates for research purposes should contact Professor Emeritus Ken Ashwell at k.ashwell@unsw.edu.au for jpg files. All due acknowledgement must be given to the source.
