Book Description

The Second Edition of Atlas of the Human Brain and Spinal Cord offers the essentials of neuroanatomy in a newly revised format. This atlas allows students to synthesize a three-dimensional concept of the major motor and sensory systems of the human brain and spinal cord by providing a photographic survey of the macroscopic and microscopic structure of the central nervous system. It is organized into 5 sections and covers material on gross anatomy, spinal cord, brain stem, coronal sections, axial sections, parasagittal sections, arteries and angiograms, neuroanatomical lesions, nuclear magnetic images of brain tumors, and more. In addition to the high quality plates that made the first edition a best-seller, the second edition now features A new section on Case Studies of Brain Tumors and Degenerative Diseases of the CNS, Vertebral and carotid digital subtraction angiography, New 2-color design, A mini-atlas of thick stained sections of the brain in the three orthogonal planes, and New angiograms, MRI brain scans, refined illustrations, and myelin-stained plates.
