Description
High resolution human imaging requires a high resolution atlas. There is no atlas that approaches the accuracy and comprehensiveness of
The Atlas of the Human Brain.
This is the third, thoroughly revised, edition of the very successful atlas that received
the Award of Excellence from the American Association of Publishers. Constructed by the recognized leaders in brain cartography, the
atlas provides the most detailed and accurate delineations of brain structure available. It is intended as an atlas for day-to-day use
in the research laboratory to identify macroscopic and microscopic structures in the human brain as collected in research data with a
variety of methods. It will also be particularly useful for the interpretation of magnetic resonance imaging data. The Atlas includes
a DVD with not only the atlas in electronic format, providing electronic versions of drawings and photographs to facilitate use of atlas
contents with researchers' own material, but also 3D visualisation software which allows easy browsing of the images, and a feature to
allow direct retrieval of brain areas using coordinates obtained in magnetic resonance imaging.
Audience:
Neuroscientists, neurologists, radiologists, neurosurgeons, anatomists, psychologists, and psychiatrists.
