The Embryonic Human Brain An Atlas of Developmental Stages Ronan O’Rahilly/Fabiola Müller This unique atlas—the only book on the prenatal human brain and the only book on the developing brain of any species that is based on staged embryos—is authored by two of the world’s leading authorities in the field of human embryology. The study reflects two decades of intensive research primarily drawn from the world-renowned Carnegie Embryological Collection, the most important collection of its kind. The staging system for the human embryo, now accepted internationally, is used throughout. The highly accurate illustrations based on three-dimensional reconstructions and accompanying text emphasize the initial appearance of the various morphological processes of the brain. The Embryonic Human Brain: An Atlas of Developmental Stages fills the need for a detailed reference on the human brain and the nervous system in the embryonic period proper (the first eight postovulatory weeks), by providing:
- Over 200 figures of the embryonic human brain
- Exceptional quality serial sections with the exact level of each section clearly indicated
- Accurate three-dimensional reconstructions
- The only accurate, up-to-date, and well illustrated account of the embryonic human brain
