(Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development, 8) 1st Edition by Shirley A. Bayer (Author), Joseph Altman (Author)
This eighth of 15 short atlases reimagines the classic 5-volume Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development. This volume presents serial sections from specimens between 96 mm and 150 mm with detailed annotations. An introduction summarizes human CNS developmental highlights between 3.5 and 4.5 months of gestation. The accompanying Glossary (available free online) gives definitions for all the labels used in this volume and all the others in the Atlas.
Key Features
• Classic anatomical atlas
• Detailed labeling of structures in the developing brain offers updated terminology and the identification of unique developmental features such as germinal matrices of specific neuronal populations and migratory streams of young neurons
• Appeals to neuroanatomists, developmental biologists, and clinical practitioners
• A valuable reference work on brain development that will be relevant for decades
