Atlas of the Human Brain

This unique atlas of the human brain correlates classical studies of post mortem tissue with thein situ, cross-sectional brain and MRIs of the same brainin vitrowithin vivoimages from living individuals. The atlas contains a series of maps, each featuring different aspects of brain morphology and topography. The atlas is divided into two section: the Topographic and Topometric Atlas and the Myeloarchitectonic Atlas. Topographic and Topometric Atlas This atlas presents the surface anatomy of the brain over a topometric grid, together with correspondingin situsections of the entire head, placed on stereotaxic grids. * Sections are cut at regular, 1-cm thick intervals in all planes of section * Both sides of section are shown * Includes corresponding X-rays and MRIs of the same head and anin vivoMRI from a healthy volunteer Myeloarchitectonic Atlas This atlas presents 69 myelin-stained sections cut perpendicular to the intercommissural line depicting mainly subcortical structures. Each plate has corresponding schematic diagrams defining position, extent, and relationship of nuclei and pathways of the forebrain and mesencephalon. * The most comprehensive delineations available; suitable for mapping of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, and receptors * Sections are from a reference brain used by preeminent neuroanatomists: Vogts, Brockhaus, Hassler, Wahren, Hopf, and Sanides * Includes 4 pages of 36 reduced figures showing gyrification and subcortical detail
