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...
