This last of 15 short atlases reimagines the classic 5 volume Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development. This volume presents serial sections of the spinal cord from specimens between 130 mm and 440 mm with detailed annotations. The presentation of these specimens emphasizes the sequence of myelination in various fiber tracts.The Glossary (available separately) gives definitions for all the terms used in this volume and all the others in the Atlas.Key FeaturesClassic anatomical atlasesDetailed labeling of structures in the developing spinal cord offers updated terminology and the identification of unique developmental features, such as myelination gliosis and gradients of myelination in the spinal cord white matterAppeals to neuroanatomists, developmental biologists, and clinical practitionersA valuable reference work on brain development that will be relevant for decades Read more
