Review

". . . Hanna Damasio's new book provides for us a convenient and smooth bridge between old and new technologies by showing us the limitations of the old, how to compensate for these limitations, and how to use the new as it becomes available . . . she has taken us yet another step into the future of clinical neurology and cognitive neuroscience by giving us a roadmap to navigate the expanding future of 3-D neuroimaging."

From reviews of the previous edition: "...Hanna Damasio's new book provides for us a convenient and smooth bridge between old and new technologies by showing us the limitations of the old, how to compensate for these limitations, and how to use the new as it becomes roadmap to navigate the expanding future of 3-D neuroimaging." --Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology
"...an excellent source for interpreting cortical brain anatomy in routine and experimental neuroradialogical studies...This atlas will be very helpful for more precise neuroradiological interpretations of brain lesions in clinical practice and in the research setting...[it] may serve as a benchmark for interpreting functional neuroimaging studies. Neurologists, neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, and neuroscientists will find it valuable in everyday practice. It should be purchased by medical libraries and clinicians and neuroscientists with an interest in surface brain anatomy and its variations." --Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
From reviews of the first edition: "This elegant atlas should be on the shelf of any clinician or researcher working with brain imaging in humans. It is extremely well-organized and easy to use...This atlas will help all researchers and clinicians to better understand brian anatomy in neurimaging...so meticulously put together, that a great deal of brain localization work will be possible with reference to this invaluable atlas." --Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society
"This outstanding atlas...facilitates further detailed exploration of the functional attributes of the cerebral cortical strutures so carefully analyzed throughout the work."--Doody's
"This title is noteworthy because of the sharp and concrete detail with which it allows the reader to peer into the dimensions of the brain and then assess the varied depths of its neurological landscape."--The Electric Review


Product Description
Modern tomographic scans are revealing the structure of the human brain in unprecedented detail. This spectator progress, however, poses a critical problem for neuroscientists and practitioners of brain-related professions: how to find their way in the current tomographic images so as to identify a particular brain site, be it normal or damaged by disease? The problem is made all the more difficult by the large degree of individual neuroanatomical variation. Prepared by a leading expert in advanced brain-imaging techniques, this unique atlas is a guide to the localization of brain structures that illustrates the wide range of neuranatomical variation. It is based on the analysis of 29 normal brain obtained from three-dimensional reconstructions of magnetic resonance scans of living persons. It also provides 177 section (coronal, axial, and parasagital) of one of those brains so that the same structure presented in the section obtained in one incidence can be identified in the section of another incidence. An additional 209 sections of two incidences of two other brains with different overall configurations are included at the same incidences, so that readers can become familiar with the variability of standard images prompted by different skull shapes. Forty-six normal brains, segmented in to the major lobes, are also included. The atlas is based on a voxel-rendering technique developed in the author's laboratory that permits the reconstruction of the brain in three dimensions. The technique permits the identification of major sulci and gyri with about the same degree of precision that can be achieved at the autopsy table. The volume contains 50 pages of color illustrations. The Second Edition of this atlas offers entirely new images, all from new brain specimens. Like the first edition, it will prove to be an essential tool for neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, psychiatrists, and neuroscientists, as well as medical and neuroscience students.
