Description

Human Neuroanatomy is a unique resource that presents the neuroanatomy of the central and peripheral nervous systems. This atlas-style reference features human brain sections with radiological correlations and original illustrations accompanying macroscopic and microscopic photographs. Chapters include a large number of illustrations in the form of photographs, Illustrations, and MR imaging, including a human brain atlas. Boxes within each chapter contain clinical information, with tables of topic summaries. Presented along with clinical approaches and analyses, this is a reference for all neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, neurologists, medical students, and all students of neuroscience.

Review quotes

"...presents human neuroanatomy including many illustrations, photographs, and MR images....This edition has great images of the brain and straightforward diagrams to show connectivity and neural pathways....[A] complete exploration of the central and peripheral nervous system starting with its development, gross, and histological organization....The art and atlas images are cutting edge and would be helpful in a class or lab discussion of neuroanatomy. Clear paragraphs that cover the topics....[A] great addition and resource to neuroanatomy education. It is simple yet complete, an indication of mastery in the field....[It] can act as a powerful learning or educational resource for first or second year medical or health science students trying to focus on learning the basics of neuroanatomy, but still introducing key clinically relevant topics." —©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Lesley Knight Gilmer, PhD (University of Nebraska Medical Center)

About the author

GS

Gulgun Sengul

Dr Gulgun Sengul, MD is a specialist in the anatomy of the spinal cord and brainstem, with a particular interest in pain pathways. Dr Sengul co-authored 'The Spinal Cord: A Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation Text and Atlas' published by Elsevier in 2009. Dr Sengul was first author of the 'Atlas of the Spinal Cord of the Rat, Mouse, Marmoset, Rhesus, and Human' published by Elsevier in 2013. This latter book includes the first published atlases of the spinal cord of the marmoset and rhesus monkeys and the first diagrammatic and cytoarchitectonic atlas of the human spinal cord. Dr Sengul also contributed to the Allen Spinal Cord Atlas and brainstem part of the BrainSpan Atlas of the Developing Human Brain projects. The rodent and primate atlases produced by Dr Sengul and her colleagues provide an important platform for future spinal cord research.
