Human Brain in Photographs and Diagrams

From Book News, Inc.
Hundreds of color and b&w clinical CT, MRI, and angiographic images of the brain, plus three-dimensional computer reconstructions, illustrate a guided tour of the brain and spinal cord, with color diagrams showing functional pathways. Chapters on external anatomy, functional systems, clinical imaging, and the transverse, coronal, horizontal, and sagittal planes of the brain label and describe various brain parts and functions. Includes a glossary. For students in biological and health sciences. Wire spiral binding. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.


Book Description
Now has an expanded section on brain stem and brain sections, additional material on chemical senses-taste & smell, and a wealth of new STET photographs. Contains 950 illustrations.

Through a unique combination of photographs, text, and diagrams, the second edition of The Human Brain in Photographs and Diagrams is unlike any other neuroanatomy resource available. It has been updated and revised to meet the needs of today's students. Crystal-clear images of whole brain sections from the reknowned Yakovlev Collection have been painstakingly digitized and retouched for maximum clarity. Labeling is provided on accompanying "ghosted" images, leaving the main image uncluttered while providing easily seen correpsondence between labels and structures. Clear, full color photographs present structures in the gross brain, spinal cord, brainstem, and cerebrum (the latter in the coronal, horizontal, and sagittal planes) Three-dimensional, computer-based reconstructions clarify the spatial relationships of brain structures Functional systems of the central nervous system are presented as full-color diagrams intergrated with brain and spinal cord sections CT images, MRIs, and angiograms emphasize the clinical applications of the anatomy presented in other chapters The comprehensive glossary includes brief descriptions of all labeled structures
