Description
The definitive guide to the human brain and its neuroanatomy--thoroughly updated and revised
Praise for the Second Edition . . .
"The Brain Atlas presents neuroanatomy in an intuitive yet comprehensive manner, which makes it an excellent reference book and an outstanding learning text for anyone trying to master the intricate layout of the brain and its related structures." --Trends in Neuroscience
"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
"Invaluable for students . . . every practicing neurosurgeon can review this material regularly with advantage . . . a valuable addition to the libraries of neuroscientists everywhere." Neurosurgery Quarterly
"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 buy." Journal of Neurosurgery
Using the latest imaging modalities, the Third Edition of The Brain Atlas features new and revised images that offer readers a remarkably clear and detailed presentation of neuroanatomy. Moreover, the text has been thoroughly updated and revised to help readers better understand the application of modern neuroscience and neuroanatomy to today's clinical practice.

Reviews / Votes
" The Brain Atlas serves as an authoritative reference work and learning tool for the brain and central nervous system. The work is essential fo rthe personal libraries of students, practioners, and researchers in neuroscience biology, psychiatry, and psychology, among other disciplines, as well as for libraries supporting both undergraduate and graduate course in school of medicine or health care facilities. The Brain Atlas is a worthwhile addition to any such collection, either as a replacement of or supplement to previous editions of the title." ( E-Streams , December 2008) "This reference book will serve as an outstanding resource for all students of neuroscience ... .This Atlas will become a much sought after companion." ( Journal of Tropical Pediatrics , August 2008) "...excellent contribution to the neurosciences. It should be included in any neurosurgical, neurological, or neurosciences departmental libraries."
