The traditional 5-volume Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development is recreated in this eighth of 15 brief atlases. This book includes serial sections with thorough annotations taken from specimens ranging in size from 96 to 150 mm. Highlights of human CNS development between 3.5 and 4.5 months of gestation are outlined in the introduction. All of the labels used in this volume and all of the other volumes of the Atlas are defined in the complimentary online glossary that comes with it.
Key Elements
• Anatomical atlas from the past
• Detailed labeling of brain structures allows for the detection of novel developmental features including migratory streams of immature neurons and germinal matrices of certain neuronal populations.
• Makes appeals to developmental biologists, clinicians, and neuroanatomists
• A valuable reference work on brain development that will be relevant for decades
