Synopsis

High-resolution human imaging requires a high-resolution atlas. There is no atlas that approaches the accuracy and comprehensiveness of The Atlas of the Human Brain. This is the third, thoroughly revised, edition of the very successful atlas that received the Award of Excellence from the American Association of Publishers. Constructed by the recognized leaders in brain cartography, the atlas provides the most detailed and accurate delineations of brain structure available. It is intended as an atlas for day-to-day use in the research laboratory to identify macroscopic and microscopic structures in the human brain as collected in research data with a variety of methods. It will also be particularly useful for the interpretation of magnetic resonance imaging data. The atlas includes a DVD with not only the atlas in electronic format, providing electronic versions of drawings and photographs to facilitate use of atlas contents with researchers' own material, but also 3D visualisation software that allows easy browsing of the images, and a feature to allow direct retrieval of brain areas using coordinates obtained in magnetic resonance imaging.

• Brain structures are presented in the standard Talairach and Tournoux stereotaxic space
• DVD contains MRI-Navigator (3D visualization of MR images), BrainNavigator (3D navigation through the detailed coronal atlas in PART 2) allowing the neuroimaging community to dial in the coordinates of their activation focus and find out what area of the brain the activation occurs in
• Significantly larger trim size (14 x 11 inches) providing much higher detail in the print graphics and photographs

About this title

Book Description

An atlas of the human brain featuring detailed maps of the topography of the brain, along with detailed diagrams and in situ sections of the entire head.

From the Publisher

New to this Edition: * Employs larger format for easier appreciation of delineations * Shadings and second color make the line drawings easier to interpret * Indicates the course of major blood vessels on the radiograms as well as the vascular domains of the brain arteries * The myeloarchitectonic atlas contains 69 coronal diagrams depicting the entire hemisphere (cortex and subcortex) * Mounts the drawings into the Talairach space

Additional material on the CD-ROM: Macroscopic atlas: * Full color anatomical sections * Drawings of anatomical sections colored for different tissues * 3-D visualization of MRI Myeloarchitectonic atlas: * Includes original myelin stained sections, allowing overlay of delineations * Links from myelin stained sections to Nissl stains * Presents all relevant literature referring to the represented brain in full text, along with the figures and search functionality
