This Third Edition continues a tradition of excellence in the study of the prenatal human brain
Praise for the Second Edition:
"A really beautiful and wonderfully informative book that no embryologist, comparative anatomist, pediatric neurologist, or neurosurgeon should be without. Putting aside the medical relevance of this atlas, it also provides the most captivating version of one of the most complex and fascinating embryological stories of all."
-Brain
This Third Edition features:
* Now full color throughout, with more than 100 new illustrations andtwenty-six new tables
* Emphasis on the critical embryonic period proper (the first eight post- fertilizational weeks)
* Findings arranged according to Carnegie stages, and the ages given conform with current ultrasonic data
* Each stage includes unique three-dimensional reconstructions based on the authors' research over several decades, accompanied by numerous relevant photomicrographs
* In vivo images are included, as are topics of current interest such as neuromeres, the cerebellum, the amygdaloid complex, and the limbic system
* A detailed glossary
* The bibliography has been expanded to encompass 350 references to the prenatal development of the human brain
