The Human Brain during the Third Trimester 260– to 270–mm Crown-Rump Lengths: Atlas of Central Nervous System Development, Volume 12

This twelfth of 15 short atlases reimagines the classic 5-volume Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development. This volume presents serial sections from specimens between 260 mm and 270 mm with detailed annotations. An introduction summarizes human CNS developmental highlights around 6.5 months of gestation.The Glossary (available separately) gives definitions for all the terms used in this volume and all the others in the Atlas.Key Features:Classic anatomical atlasesDetailed labeling of structures in the developing brain offers updated terminology and the identification of unique developmental features, such as germinal matrices of specific neuronal populations and migratory streams of young neuronsAppeals to neuroanatomists, developmental biologists, and clinical practitionersA valuable reference work on brain development that will be relevant for decades Read more
