The Brain Atlas: A Visual Guide to the Human Central Nervous System integrates modern neuroscience with clinical practice and is now significantly revised and updated for a Fourth Edition. The book’s five sections cover: Background Information, The Brain and Its Blood Vessels, Brain Slices, Histological Sections, and Pathways. These are depicted in over 350 high quality intricate figures making it the best available visual guide to human neuroanatomy.

• Shows brain structures and the interneuronal connections that clarify human neuroanatomy and relate to function and disease without overwhelming users with detail and/or oversimplifying the brain
• Uses direct labeling system around the specimen including an alphabetical list of terms for each image
• Contains approximately 350 high quality images showing the brain in incredible detail
• Features unrivaled treatment of brain pathways, with colored lines that clearly trace pathways on actual brain slices detailed in the anatomical section of the book
• Shows systematic correlation of magnetic resonance images side-by-side with corresponding brain slices
• Includes blood supply maps to show arteries and veins of the CNS in detail, and separate vascular territory maps directly correlated to each whole brain slice
• Comes with free access to Wiley companion digital edition accessible on any device, allowing the reader to explore interactive learning functionality on figures, make notes, bookmark, and follow cross references

This book is ideal for undergraduate and graduate medical students, and for trainee neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, psychologists, neuroscientists, and neurobiologists. Its easy to understand layout makes it a must have resource for anyone who wants a deep and clear working knowledge of brain anatomy.

Review

“Of the many neuroanatomical texts available, I found this beautifully illustrated Brain Atlas particularly helpful in developing confidence in neuroanatomy, aided by such comprehensive and well-presented information”…..”This book is ideal for trainees in any neuroscience specialty. Medical students will also find this one of the better neuroanatomical texts on the market”….”Apart from being an essential resource for any practitioner requiring detailed knowledge in neuroanatomy, this book would prove extremely beneficial to those analysing whole brains and brain sections at both the macroscopic and microscopic levels” Abel Devedass, Addenbrooke’s Hospital on behalf of the Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology Journal, Oct 2017
