The Human Brain During the Third Trimester

Won Highly Commended in the OB/GYN category of the 2004 British Medical Association Library Book Competition
Since the brain in the third trimester is nearing maturity, this atlas can serve as a comprehensive guide to structures in the adult brain. High magnification views of different areas of the cerebral cortex and cerebellar cortex show the degree of maturation of these large structures in the third trimester brain. This atlas reveals the maturation of the brain's settled and enduring neural populations. It also uncovers information about immature features of the perinatal brain that have never before been identified. This atlas is also available as part of five volume set.

List of contents

This is the second volume of a five-volume set of atlases on the developing human central nervous system. With no other atlases available on the development of the human spinal cord and the brain during the third trimester, the first two volumes of the series fill a large void in current knowledge. Easy to use, the second volume provides low and high magnification photographs of brain sections arranged in two parts: a high resolution black and white image on the left and a ...ghost... image on the right page with unabbreviated labels. This volume provides a user-friendly survey of the complex structural changes that occur during late prenatal human brain development.

Summary

A guide to structures in the adult brain. This atlas reveals the maturation of the brain's settled and enduring neural populations. It also uncovers information about immature features of the perinatal brain.
