Excellent review tool, however, I would recommend for realistic shipping purposes that Amazon/seller take on sending the items in an envelope instead of wasting a huge box just for a few laminated references.
I collected ALL of these in the series and I am so glad I did. These charts have become incredibly helpful and educational for both my own studies and reference as an MT, as well as my children using them for general knowledge and school work. I would highly recommend and buy again.

I teach anatomy in a technical school. I find these charts to be very useful for students to have as study references in their notebooks.I use them extensively as visual aids.Great quality.Very pleased with my purchase.
I'm a professional Massage Therapist and Reflexologist and this chart is very good. I bought it to share with my students. Clear, easy to use, great colors. Excellent for everyone. One of the best.
Paxinos & Watson's rat brain atlas is the most cited and used brain atlas in research labs, and it deserves that status. However, in a couple places it may be misleading or confusing. This is particularly evident in the brainstem. We have found irregularities in the ventrolateral medulla (both caudal and rostral) in this book (co-labeled as C1 and A1), as well as an apparent mix-up between the obex and calamus scriptorius of the rat.However, in the grand scheme of things, this atlas is a great tool to have.Also, the vector graphics data provided on the CD is an INVALUABLE tool when preparing figures.
