Editorial Reviews

Review

"This atlas is an outstanding single-volume resource of information on the structure and function of specific areas of the brain. Updated to reflect the latest technology using 3 Tesla MR images, this edition has been enhanced with new functional MRI studies as well as a new section on diffusion tensor imaging with three-dimensional reconstructions of fiber tracts using color coding to demonstrate neural pathways...High-quality images. This book eliminates the need to sift through multiple books for the current information on the structure and function of the brain. It is invaluable for clinicians in radiology, neuroradiology, neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, psychology, neuropsychology, and neuroanatomy...Also ideal for medical students, nursing students, and individuals seeking to gain a firm understanding of human brain anatomy and function."--The Neuroradiology Journal

"The alphabetic glossary at the beginning of the book is a thorough and well-developed collection of more than 300 structures, with anatomical and functional definitions...[a] thorough overview of neuroanatomy and function."--American Journal of Neuroradiology

"The second edition...is enriched by numerous bidimensional (2D) anatomical images obtained by 3T magnetic resonance equipment and is completed by 2D-3D images obtained with diffusion techniques (DTI) and functional studies...The iconography regarding the 2D and 2D-3D images dedicated to trattography and the functional studies is excellent...the great value of this Atlas is its completeness...With this book the reader does not...have to consult further books of normal human anatomy to find the immutable and indispensable basic information important to the daily neuroradiological investigations."--Clinical Imaging

"This book is compact and includes vauable basic anatomic information, as well as a nice introduction to diffusion tensor imaging."--Radiology

This review is from: Atlas of Brain Function (Paperback)

Finally an atlas which not only names brain structures but tells you what they connect to and what their function is. Plus near the end is a chapter with some very good color Diffusion Tensor MRI's showing fiber pathways.
