Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development: Volume 12

This 12th installment of the 15-volume atlas series is a comprehensive reimagination of the classic 5-volume Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development. Authored by Shirley A. Bayer and Joseph Altman, this book presents an in-depth exploration of the human central nervous system (CNS) during a crucial period of development.

Serial Sections and Detailed Annotations

This volume offers a unique perspective on CNS development, featuring serial sections from specimens between 260 mm and 270 mm, accompanied by meticulous annotations. These detailed illustrations provide researchers and clinicians with a valuable resource for understanding the intricacies of CNS development.

Introduction to Human CNS Development at 6.5 Months of Gestation

The introduction provides a concise overview of the significant milestones in human CNS development around 6.5 months of gestation. This essential background information sets the stage for a deeper understanding of the complex processes involved in CNS development.

Glossary of Key Terms

For easy reference, a separate glossary is available, defining all the terms used in this volume and throughout the Atlas series. This comprehensive resource is an invaluable tool for researchers, students, and clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of CNS development.
