Long overdue, this third edition represents a thorough revision of the leading neuroanatomy atlas for medical, dental, and allied health students. Additions of new material have been counterbalanced by deletions so that the book's size remains almost the same. There are new sections on coronal views of the gross brain, biochemical neuroanatomy, magnetic resonance, and computerized tomography. The coronal section includes 11 new photographs at a magnification of 1.3x.
In addition, many changes have been made in the illustrations retained from earlier editions.
From reviews of the second edition:
Long awaited, the Third Edition represents a thorough revision of this widely-used atlas. It takes into account the advances in computer-assisted brain-imaging techniques that do not restrict the plane of study and the recent progress in identifying and localizing putative neurotransmitters and neuromodulators in the brain. New sections offer coronal views of the gross brain and brain stem, biochemical neuroanatomy, magnetic resonance images, and recent computerized tomographic scans. In addition, many refinements have been made in the illustrations retained from earlier editions. As before, only the highest quality photomicrographs have been included.
A book which deserves and invites careful handling and gives much aesthetic as well as intellectual satisfaction; at its price it is a remarkable value.
