Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development: A Comprehensive Guide to Brain Development

By Shirley A. Bayer and Joseph Altman, this sixth volume of the 15-part Atlas series revolutionizes the classic 5-volume Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development. This expertly crafted book presents serial sections from specimens between 40 mm and 42 mm, accompanied by detailed annotations and stunning 3D reconstructions.

Unparalleled Insights into Human CNS Development

The introduction to this volume provides a concise summary of human CNS development, featuring high-resolution photographs of methacrylate-embedded rat embryos at a similar stage of development as the human specimens. This unique approach allows for a deeper understanding of the complex processes involved in brain development.

Detailed Anatomical Atlas with Updated Terminology

The classic anatomical atlas is meticulously detailed, with thorough labeling of structures in the developing brain. This updated terminology identifies unique developmental features, such as germinal matrices of specific neuronal populations and migratory streams of young neurons. This comprehensive resource is an invaluable reference for neuroanatomists, developmental biologists, and clinical practitioners.

A Timeless Reference Work on Brain Development

With 171 pages of expertly crafted content, this volume is a treasure trove of knowledge on brain development. Published by CRC Press, the 1st edition (February 23, 2023) is a testament to the authors’ dedication to advancing our understanding of the human central nervous system.
