The Human Brain during the First Trimester 15- to 18-mm Crown-Rump Lengths

This third of 15 short atlases reimagines the classic 5-volume Atlas of  Human Central Nervous System Development. This volume presents serial  sections from specimens between 15 mm and 18 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
Classic anatomical atlas
Detailed  labeling of structures in the developing brain offers updated  terminology and the identification of unique developmental features,  such as germinal matrices of specific neuronal populations and migratory  streams of young neurons
Appeals to neuroanatomists, developmental biologists, and clinical practitioners
A valuable reference work on brain development that will be relevant for decades
