Main description:

This tenth of 15 short atlases reimagines the classic 5 volume Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development. A handy paperback edition focuses on the second trimester of human brain development. Serial sections from specimens between 190mm and 210mm are illustrated and annotated in great detail, together with 3D reconstructions. An introduction and glossary summarize these earliest stages of human CNS development.

Key Features

* Classic anatomical atlases

* Detailed labeling of the earliest phases of prenatal neurological development

* Appeals to neuroanatomists, developmental biologists and clinical practitioners.

* Persistent relevance - brain development is not going to change
