Catalog of the Neurological Mutants of the Mouse

Harvard University Press has partnered with De Gruyter to make available for sale worldwide virtually all in-copyright HUP books that had become unavailable since their original publication. The 2,800 titles in the “e-ditions” program can be purchased individually as PDF eBooks or as hardcover reprint (“print-on-demand”) editions via the “Available from De Gruyter” link above.

The correspondence of genetic disorders in the mouse and in man is such that much valuable insight into human disorders can be gained from the study of mouse diseases. Many laboratory experiments can be done better in, and often only in, the mouse, yet medical experimenters are often uninformed about the models available for study. This book, describing in detail the singular characteristics of more than 90 neurological mutant mice, provides laboratory and clinical investigators with a valuable reference tool and a useful guide in planning experimental studies on the nervous system.
