The Brain Atlas: A Visual Guide to the Human Central Nervous System, 2nd Edition

The new edition of The Brain Atlas is now better than ever! This acclaimed text continues to provide a concise, elegant, and accurate portrait of human neuroanatomy. Divided into five sections—Background Information, The Brain
and its Blood Vessels, Brain Slices, Histological Sections, and Pathways—this enhanced text has been carefully revised to capitalize on the strengths of the first edition while making the book even more user-friendly. This fully revised edition of The Brain Atlas includes:
• 400 full-color, high quality images and diagrams • Redesigned direct labels replace previously used numbering system • Exceptional presentation of functional pathways • Increased image sizes to reveal structural details • Additional carefully matched radiological images • Visual cues for easy navigation • Clinical relevance highlighted throughout the text • Seamless integration of anatomy, brain vessels, neuroradiology and functional brain pathways • Complete revision of the index, now with over 6,000 entries

nt reference book and an outstanding learning text for anyone trying to master the intricate layout of the brain and its related structures.” TRENDS IN NEUROSCIENCE

The Brain Atlas: A Visual Guide to the Human Central Nervous System integrates modern neuroscience with clinical practice and is now completely revised and updated for a Fourth Edition making it the best available visual guide to human neuroanatomy.

The human brain is one of the most amazing consequences of evolution. The Brain Atlas correlates human brains, anatomical slices of brains, and MRI and MRA scans showing brain structure in three different planes. Details of all parts of the brain are clearly labelled. Nerve pathways through the brain are illustrated with color diagrams and illustrations. Color coding and brain-section markers on each page permit easy navigation through The Brain Atlas.

The companion digital edition interactively animates detailed illustrations to show how the form and function of the brain is organized.

While other atlases can overwhelm users with detail and/or oversimplify the brain, The Brain Atlas shows brain structures and the interneuronal connections that clarify human neuroanatomy and that relate to function and disease.

• Uses direct labeling system including an alphabetical list of terms for each image
• Contains approximately 350 high quality images showing the brain in incredible detail
• Unrivaled treatment of brain pathways, with colored diagrams that clearly trace pathways on actual brain slices detailed in the anatomical section of the book
• Systematic correlation of magnetic resonance images side-by-side with corresponding brain slices
• Blood supply maps related to brain and brain slice images show detailed maps of arteries, veins and blood territory maps next to each brain image/slice
• Print edition comes with free access to Wiley companion digital edition accessible on any device, allowing the reader to make notes, bookmark, follow cross references, and download figures

This book is ideal for trainee neurologists, neuroscientists, neurobiologists, and for medical students, however it’s easy to understand layout makes it a must have resource for anyone who wants a deep and clear working knowledge of brain anatomy.
