Academic Press Atlas of the Human Brain

Atlas of the Human Brain, Fifth Edition presents the anatomy of the brain at macroscopic and microscopic levels, featuring different aspects of brain morphology and topography with the most detailed and accurate delineations of brain structure. This new edition also features new diffusion tensor images (DTI), selected fiber tracts derived from tractography and depicted as "stipplings". It also includes annotated MR- and DT-images of the human brainstem. Totally new in this edition is the cortex map of von Economo and Koskinas in addition to the inclusion of Nissl plates with delineating of cortical areas (Brodmann’s areas) in serial histological sections.This is an essential guide to those working with human brain imaging or attempting to relate their observations on experimental animals to humans. Examines the brain in the skull and the brain in stereotaxic (MNI) space Includes high-resolution sections on the left sided 99 plates presenting myelin (Weigert) stained sections (covering myeloarchitecture) and fifty (Nissl) sections (covering cytoarchitecture), with new images and features Features schematic drawings (stipplings) of fiber pathways generated from tractography and DTIs opposite to the cell-stained section Contains sulci/gyri and Brodmann maps and the cortex map of von Economo and Koskinas Provides diagrams in the horizontal (axial) and sagittal planes that are calculated from the 3D model of the atlas brain Presents the brainstem. MRI, and drawings of nuclei and tracts on approximately 64 section levels, unlike the 4th edition
