If this is your first session, we suggest  you go to 'Using the Mouse Atlas' and access the software in this context.

We take the view that you won't want to read a lot of notes and that you will have fun exploring the possibilities for yourself. If you have any queries, please contact us by e-mail, or fax: FAO Dr Duncan Davidson/Dr Richard Baldock: +44 (0)131 343 2620.  Answers to common queries will be given on a dedicated WWW page.
