Structure of the Human Brain : A Photographic Atlas » (3rd Edition)

Long awaited, the Third Edition represents a thorough revision of this widely-used atlas. It takes into account the advances in computer-assisted brain-imaging techniques that do not restrict the plane of study and the recent progress in identifying and localizing putative neurotransmitters and neuromodulators in the brain. New sections offer coronal views of the gross brain and brain stem, biochemical neuroanatomy, magnetic resonance images, and recent computerized tomographic scans. In addition, many refinements have been made in the illustrations retained from earlier editions. As before, only the highest quality photomicrographs have been included.

1. The Gross Brain and Spinal Cord
2. Horizontal Sections of the Gross Brain: Correlation with Computerized Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging
3. Coronal Sections of the Gross Brain and Brain Stem
4. Transverse Microscopic Sections of the Spinal Cord
5. Transverse Microscopic Sections of the Brain Stem
6. Coronal Microscopic Sections of the Basal Ganglia and Diencephalon, Including Horizontal Sections of the Brain Stem
7. Sagittal Microscopic Sections of the Brain Stem, Diencephalon, and Basal Ganglia
8. Cytoarchitecture of the Cerebral Cortex
9. Chemoarchitectural-Neuroanatomic Relationships in the Human CNS
10. The Vascular Structure of the Brain: Anatomy and Angiography
