Volume 1: The Spinal Cord from Gestational Week 4 to the 4th Postnatal Month

This first volume in the Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development series sets the stage with complete coverage of the spinal cord from gestational week 4 to the 4th postnatal month. 3D color images provide a holistic view of the structural changes during spinal cord morphogenesis. This landmark first volume: Provides quantitative summaries of several ontogenetic trends Features all the stages of spinal cord development Offers fresh insights into the steps involved in the morphogenesis of the mature spinal cord Shows the human spinal cord at its most primitive stage, when consisting mainly of neuroepithelial stem cells This atlas is also available as part of the complete five volume series.

Volume 2: The Human Brain During the Third Trimester

The second volume in the Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development series, The Human Brain During the Third Trimester provides new information about immature features of the perinatal brain that have never before been identified. With no other atlas available on the development of the human brain during the third trimester, this volume fills a large void in the current literature. This user-friendly survey of the complex structural processes that occur during human CNS development gives you a visual record of nearly every structure in the brain during the third trimester.

Volume 3: The Human Brain During the Second Trimester

The brain in the second trimester, the subject of Volume 3, is nearing anatomical maturity throughout the brainstem. In contrast, the neurogenesis and neuronal migration are still in progress in the cerebral cortex and cerebellum. Consequently, the authors chose to focus on the migration, sojourning, and settling of the neuronal populations belonging to these immature structures. These observations can help researchers develop a better understanding of normal brain development at this formative stage. In this volume, the authors offer consideration of a new concept regarding human cortical development: the identification of the stratified transitional field (STF), which continues to play an important role in later stages. Until recently regarded as simply an intermediate and transitional layer of little significance, modern imaging techniques have shown that it is in the STF where cortical neural connections are first specified. Among other salient points, the development of this field may well bring to light those disruptions during development that lead to cerebral palsy.

Volume 4: The Human Brain During the Late First Trimester

The fourth volume in the Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development series, The Human Brain During the Late First Trimester provides new information about features of the perinatal brain. It deals with brain development during the late first trimester (GW11-GW7.5). The major theme of this volume is the identification of stretches and patches (mosaics) of the NEP matrix along the hypertrophied telencephalic, diencephalic, mesencephalic, and rhombencephalic superventricles. Many putative migratory paths of young nerons on their way to their settling sites are also identified. In the younger specimens, the brain sections are presented as they are embedded in the skull and developing facial structures. The older specimens show the onset of development of some of the large fiber tracts.

Volume 5: The Human Brain During the Early First Trimester

This is the fifth and last Volume in the Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development Series. It deals with human brain development during the early first trimester from the third through the seventh gestational weeks. Serial sections from 14 specimens are illustrated and annotated in detail, together with 3D reconstructions of the brains of eight specimens.
Finally, a concluding essay with illustrations and graphs summarizes the major events of human CNS development. It also provides a theoretical account of the morphogenetic processes involved in human CNS development and relates them to current genetic and molecular research in animal models.
