From Book News, Inc.
The authors (professors of neurology, surgery, and radiology at the Washington U. School of Medicine, St. Louis) present cross-sectional photographs, MRI scans, neuroradiological images, histological sections, and other material demonstrating the anatomy of the human brain and nervous system. Both structures and pathways are covered. Wire comb binding.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR


Review
"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, May 2004)

“The authors have done a superb job of bringing together what the clinical student of the neurosciences needs to know or have available by reference...invaluable for students...every practicing neurosurgeon can review this materials regularly with advantage...a valuable addition to the libraries of neuroscientists everywhere.” (Neurosurgery Quarterly, December 2003 - February 2004)

Praised in the first edition "An excellent reference text. We recommend The Brain Atlas to all who explore the intricate wonders of the human brain." (Trends in Neuroscience)

"...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 by." (Journal of Neurosurgery, Vol. 98, June 2003)

"...an excellent atlas...a book to which all neurosurgical trainees should have access..." (British Journal of Neurosurgery, June 2003)

"I will certainly use [The Brain Atlas] to teach our residents in neuroanatomy and will encourage them to purchase the book as well." —Volker K.H. Sonntag, M.D., Barrow Neurosurgical Associates, Ltd.


Book Description
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


Book Info
Washington Univ., St. Louis, MO. Atlas provides a concise and accurate guide to human neuroanatomy for students. Includes color presentations with visual cues, direct labeling system, 3D depiction of brain pathways, radiological images next to corresponding brain slices and blood territory maps, and color-coded sections. Previous edition: c1998. Wire-spiral.


From the Publisher
Nearly 400 exquisite images (many of them life-size) in a clean and intuitive format offering students and practitioners a beautiful and thoroughly integrated view. Extensive use of carefully matched MRIs and other radiological images complement classical sections and directly relate brain structure to clinical settings. The unique uncluttered labeling system facilitates learning neuroanatomy while providing easy to use self-testing for board review and exam preparation. Brain pathways are depicted on actual brain sections for dramatic, accurate, three-dimensional conceptualization. Blood vessel territories in the brain are outlined by color overlays offering a clear and concise picture of brain blood supply.
