The Human Brain During the First Trimester 15- To 18-MM Crown-Rump Lengths: Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development, Volume 3

By Joseph Altman and Shirley A Bayer

Book Overview

This third of 15 short atlases reimagines the classic 5-volume Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development. This volume presents serial sections from specimens between 15 mm and 18 mm with detailed annotations, together with 3D reconstructions. An introduction summarizes human CNS development by using high-resolution photos of methacrylate-embedded rat embryos at a similar stage of development as the human specimens in this volume. The accompanying Glossary gives definitions for all the terms used in this volume and all the others in the Atlas.

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
