These publications are a summary of work I have completed in brain mapping over many years. The work includes one book (The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, 6th compact edition), ten articles on hindbrain and spinal cord anatomy published in peer reviewed journals between 1975 to 2011, and five published chapters on spinal cord anatomy, including two spinal cord atlases. Over my career I have published 15 books on the anatomy of the brain and spinal cord of experimental animals. I am first author or equal co-author of ten of these books. The most successful of these books, "The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates" (Paxinos and Watson, l 982, 1986, 1996, 1998, 2005, 2007), has earned over 50,000 citations since it was first published in 1982. The second edition alone is ranked 32 in the Thomson ISI 50 most cited publications of all time, having been cited 17,093 times up to January 2006. Dr George Paxinos and l are equal contributors to this work; the order of authors was decided on alphabetical precedence.
