Description of part

Because the Atlas does not extend into the spinal cord [medulla spinalis], we have not provided an exhaustive account of cell groups within this division of the cerebrospinal trunk. For a general account of the rat spinal cord, see Waibl (1973) and Altman and Bayer (1984); for attempts to impose a laminar organization on the spinal cord, see Rexed (1952, 1954) and Brichta and Grant (1985).
