Synopsis: 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 atlases • Detailed 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 neurons • Appeals to neuroanatomists, developmental biologists, and clinical practitioners • A valuable reference work on brain development that will be relevant for decades
