Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development: A Comprehensive Guide

By Shirley A. Bayer, this first of 15 short atlases reimagines the classic 5-volume Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development. This volume presents serial sections from specimens between 3.5 mm and 4.5 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 of the Atlas

This classic anatomical atlas offers detailed labeling of structures in the developing brain, providing updated terminology and the identification of unique developmental features, such as germinal matrices of specific neuronal populations and migratory streams of young neurons. It appeals to neuroanatomists, developmental biologists, and clinical practitioners.

A Valuable Reference Work

This Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development is a valuable reference work on brain development that will be relevant for decades. It serves as a comprehensive guide for those interested in understanding the intricacies of the human central nervous system and its development.
