description: Hardbound. The discovery of age-related changes in the Microcebus murinus, brain rendered the compilation an an atlas essential. Recent results obtained concerning the evolution of the brain structures and cellular elements during the life of this prosimian have shown numerous similarities to the ageing human brain. The nature of these led to the conclusion that the species could constitute a valuable tool for fundamental and experimental studies into human cerebral ageing and neurodegenerative diseases, particularly those of the Alzheimer type. The importance of this lies in the fact that, currently, no model of human cerebral ageing, related to associated disability or not, exists. Clearly there is a great need for investigations into Microcebus murinus in numerous domains. Some are being undertaken by various international scientific teams but substantial areas of great interest remain so far untouched. The likelihood of Microcebu
