Aus dem Klappentext

The Brain Atlas flows logically from surface anatomy to cross-sections to regional histology, ending with diagrams of the major neuronal systems. Features of the Third Edition include:
*
 
All new clinical images obtained using the latest imaging technology
*
 
A direct labeling system of key structures with a separate alphabetical list of these terms to speed identification in each figure
*
 
An unrivaled treatment of brain pathways, using clear color graphics to trace pathways on actual brain slices
*
 
Magnetic resonance images that face corresponding brain slices and sections permit direct comparison and accurate identification
 
With these new updated features, the Third Edition continues to be the unsurpassed visual guide to human neuroanatomy for students, researchers, and practitioners in neuroanatomy, neurology, neuroscience, psychiatry, medicine, and psychology.
