Description of part
Because the atlas does not extend into the spinal cord, the following is not an exhaustive account of cell groups within this division of the CNS. 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).
