    edited by Judi Edmans on behalf of the Stroke Clinical Forum of the College of Occupational Therapists Specialist Section Neurological Practice.
    Summary: Occupational Therapy and Stroke guides newly qualified occupational therapists (and those new to the field of stroke management) through the complexities of treating people following stroke. It encourages and assists therapists to use their skills in problem solving, building on techniques taught and observed as an undergraduate. Written and edited by practising occupational therapists, the book acknowledges the variety of techniques that may be used in stroke management and the scope of the occupational therapist's role. Chapters span such key topics as early intervention and the theoretical.

    A survey of existing atlases of the cat's brain has revealed a lack of coronal sections on the levels of the prefrontal cortex. On the other hand, neurophysiological and behavioral studies of this region have increased greatly in recent years. As the extent of coronal sections through the prefrontal cortex was seen to differ markedly even at separations of 1 mm, a stereotaxic atlas was made on the basis of brain sections of 16 mongrel cats. Brains were cut with the use of the paraffin or freezing method, and stained with cresyl violet, Luxol fast blue, or Kluver-Barrera's combination. Statistical methods were used to yield representative coronal outlines of sections from +20 to +30 mm anterior in 1 mm steps. A comparison with Reinoso-Suarez five coronal sections within this range showed a marked congruence between the two atlases.
