Quel est le sujet du livre "Olszewski and Baxter's Cytoarchitecture of the Human Brainstem"
The introduction serves as a concise, up-to-date treatise on the role of Reticular Formation, explaining both historical and current concepts of its function
Uniquely combines both low- and high-powered photographic documentation of the complete human brainstem, whereby low-magnification plates show the overall organization and name each individual region or nucleus, while the accompanying high-magnification photos document in superb detail the different features of each individual nucleus which characterize and identify it
As the only atlas of the human brainstem available containing full descriptions of organization, function and connectivity of more than 100 individual nuclei, it also comprisesstate-of-the-art summaries of the current knowledge on each nucleus including a comprehensive references list. Other aspects of the brainstem such as effects of lesions and immunochemical properties are also covered
A new comprehensive edition of a standard work, detailing and illustrating the organization, structure, function and connectivity of all individual brainstem nuclei
The new revised and extended edition of this standard work retains all the original and unique low- and high-power photographs which document the organization of the human brainstem as well as the individual character of the neurons of each nucleus. Many structural differences are described in neuronal groups, indicating as yet unrecognized functional differences.
Furthermore unique details of the neuronal organization and cytoarchitecture are featured, providing clues to the functional properties of the cell groups and stimulating research projects. Nomenclature and nuclear borders have been updated and new sections have been added describing the function and connectivity of each nucleus.
For neuroscientists and neurologists this atlas provides an invaluable and complete source of reference for both their scientific research and everyday clinical practice. Neuropathologists, neuroradiologists, neuropsychologists, neurosurgeons as well as physiologists and physicians will find the combination of low-power brainstem imaging with cytological, physiological and neuroanatomical data highly relevant. In addition, the atlas offers researchers in other disciplines the opportunity to discover new correlations between structure and function, outlining new functional regions in the brainstem.
