Human Brainstem
The human brainstem has long been a neglected area in clinical medicine. The atlas features a state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging series, histological specimens (Darrow Red and Campbell staining) and a plastinate-based topographical part, which allows direct comparison of histological and topographical findings with neuroimaging. This is shown by the fact that there is no introductory book on the neuroanatomy and pathology of this region.This book is intended to introduce the reader to the neuroanatomy of the human brainstem and combines an atlas with detailed information on the individual structures.
Where appropriate, peripheral targets of brainstem structures are illustrated and explained. In addition, the reader is guided along the brainstem neuromer model through the human brainstem and learns about the functional properties of the individual structures of the brainstem. Furthermore, each chapter covers the most important neurological disorders affecting the brainstem.This book aims to demonstrate that sound anatomical knowledge is required to understand brainstem pathology.
It will particularly help those new to the field to better understand the complex anatomy of the human brainstem and will be useful to basic and clinical neuroscientists alike.
