Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development: A Comprehensive Guide

Authored by Shirley A. Bayer and Joseph Altman, this 8th volume of the 15-part atlas series reimagines the classic 5-volume atlas, offering a detailed exploration of brain development.

Unparalleled Insights into Human CNS Development

This volume presents meticulous serial sections from specimens between 96 mm and 150 mm, accompanied by detailed annotations that provide valuable insights into the development of the human central nervous system.

The introduction provides a concise summary of key highlights in human CNS development between 3.5 and 4.5 months of gestation, laying the foundation for a deeper understanding of this critical period.

A Valuable Resource for Neuroanatomists and Beyond

The atlas’s detailed labeling of structures in the developing brain offers updated terminology and identification of unique developmental features, including germinal matrices of specific neuronal populations and migratory streams of young neurons.

This comprehensive volume will appeal to neuroanatomists, developmental biologists, and clinical practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of brain development.
