SEE THE ENTIRE RANGE OF STRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENTA volume in the Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development series, The Spinal Cord from Gestational Week 4 to the 4th Postnatal Month presents unique illustrations of structural development. With its clearly labeled photographs and extensive quantitative comparisons, you'll gain new insights into the steps involved in the morphogenesis of the mature spinal cord.YOUR COMPLETE GUIDE TO NORMAL DEVELOPMENTThe first comprehensive study of its kind, the five-volume Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development Series allows you to: Observe...

This is the Second Volume of a five-volume set of atlases on the developing human central nervous system. With no other atlases available on the development of the human spinal cord and the brain during the third trimester, the first two volumes in the series fill a large void in current knowledge. Easy to use, the second volume contains high and low magnification photographs of brain sections arranged in two parts: a high resolution black and white image on the left and a ...ghost... image on the right page with unabbreviated labels. This volume provides a user-friendly survey of the complex...

Presents a unique view of the entire range of structural development Identifies structures previously unknown in humans using H-thymidine autoradiography Includes photographs of the entire brain and spinal cord sections Provides names of structures that reflect current experimental work on the mammalian central nervous system Shows serial sections through all parts of the brain, with labels in each section 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...

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 3?D reconstructions of the brains of eight specimens.
The Human Brain During the Early First Trimester focuses on these major themes:
Growth of the stockbuilding neural progenitor cells along the expanding shorelines of the superventricles
Identification of the mosaic...

The study of the development of the spinal cord has a relatively long history. The spinal cord was singled out as a favorable site when cytological techniques were first applied to the study of the embryonic development of the nervous system. Bidder and Kupffer (1857), using the new procedure of hardening nerve tissue with chromic acid (Hannover 1844), made an investigation of spinal cord development in fetal sheep. They reported that the cellular central mass of the spinal cord develops before its fibrous envelope, deducing from this that the fibers of the white matter of the embryonic...

The hypothalamus is a vitally important component of the vertebrate nervous system, being involved in the regulation of the pituitary gland, the autonomic nervous system, and the central and peripheral motor systems; and implicated in such functions as reproduction, feeding, drinking, aggression, vigilance, and some other not clearly understood motivational processes. The development of the hypothalamus is generally recognized as an important field of inquiry, and many studies are available that deal with the biochemical, electrophysiologi- cal, morphological, and behavioral maturation of one...
