"Overall, this atlas is an excellent tool for understanding the central nervous system. It is a good companion at every level of training and for health care professionals." Archives of Neurology

"Invaluable for students . . . every practicing neurosurgeon can review this material regularly with advantage . . . a valuable addition to the libraries of neuroscientists everywhere." Neurosurgery Quarterly

"An essential requirement for the library of any individual who works in the field . . . if you buy only one atlas, this is the one to buy." Journal of Neurosurgery

Using the latest imaging modalities, the Third Edition of The Brain Atlas features new and revised images that offer readers a remarkably clear and detailed presentation of neuroanatomy. Moreover, the text has been thoroughly updated and revised to help readers better understand the application of modern neuroscience and neuroanatomy to today's clinical practice.

De la solapa interior

The Brain Atlas flows logically from surface anatomy to cross-sections to regional histology, ending with diagrams of the major neuronal systems. Features of the Third Edition include:

• All new clinical images obtained using the latest imaging technology

• A direct labeling system of key structures with a separate alphabetical list of these terms to speed identification in each figure

• An unrivaled treatment of brain pathways, using clear color graphics to trace pathways on actual brain slices

• Magnetic resonance images that face corresponding brain slices and sections permit direct comparison and accurate identification

With these new updated features, the Third Edition continues to be the unsurpassed visual guide to human neuroanatomy for students, researchers, and practitioners in neuroanatomy, neurology, neuroscience, psychiatry, medicine, and psychology.
