Each plate has matching cell and fiber stains. Coronal sections at 0.3 mm intervals. With annotations and labeling of structures. Ten embryonic ages are presented with from 20 to 35 plates each. Only the highest quality micrographs are used.
Plates represent the brain of each age in sagittal and coronal planes.
A unique 3-D reconstruction of the brain is presented for each of the ten ages. Computer aided illustrations of brain regions add to the utility of this atlas. A detailed and logical classification of the germinal matrix at early stages is included. Total of 664 pages. Each photomicrograph is accompanied by a fully labeled, precision- drawn diagram for easy identification of brain structures.
