Publisher: Georg Thieme Verlag, 1995

This atlas of brain function is divided into four easily accessible sections on sagittal, axial and coronal views and 3-D images. Each structure is discussed in terms of location and specific function, showing the reader not only where the structure is located, but what it does. Hundreds of CT and MR scans and anatomic drawings make each concept clear. This at-a-glance reference combines detailed neuroanatomic images of brain structures with the function they perform. The book is suitable for reseidents who need a complete review of central nervous system anatomy and function.

From the Back Cover:

This atlas is an outstanding single-volume resource of information on the structure and function of specific areas of the brain. Updated to reflect the latest technology using 3 Tesla MR images, this edition has been enhanced with new functional MRI studies as well as a new section on diffusion tensor imaging with three-dimensional reconstructions of fiber tracts using color coding to demonstrate neural pathways.

Highlights:

Glossary of neuroanatomic structures and definitions provides the reader with a foundation in structures, function, and functional relationships
High-quality images are divided into five sections, including Sagittal MRI views, Axial MRI views, Coronal MRI views, Fiber-Tracking Diffusion Tensor Imaging, and Three-Dimensional MRI views
Icons rapidly orient the reader with the location of each view or the diffusion pathway

This book eliminates the need to sift through multiple books for the current information on the structure and function of the brain. It is invaluable for clinicians in radiology, neuroradiology, neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, psychology, neuropsychology, and neuroanatomy. The atlas is also ideal for medical students, nursing students, and individuals seeking to gain a firm understanding of human brain anatomy and function.
