Dedication
To Our Students whose enthusiasm maintains ours, whose questions prod us to seek clarity and accuracy, whose caring and curiosity make teaching fun; and
To Paul Ivan Yakovlev whose wisdom and foresight, dignity, kindness, and generosity, reverence for patients and joy in people, enormous energy and personal youthfulness created a world library of human and animal brains and a world community of neurological scholars
Preface
Learning about the functional anatomy of the human central nervous system (CNS) is usually a daunting task. Structures that interdigitate and overlap in three dimensions contribute to the difficulty, as does a long list of intimidating names, many with origins in descriptive terminology derived from Latin and Greek. We have attempted in this book to make the task a little easier for students of the biological and health sciences by presenting a systematic series of whole-brain sections in three different sets of planes, by relating these sections to three-dimensional reconstructions, and by trying to restrain ourselves when indicating structures.
We made a number of choices in organizing the materials for the first edition of this atlas and again in developing subsequent editions; in each instance we strove for simplicity. Unlabeled photographs are presented throughout the book, juxtaposed to faded-out versions of the same photographs with important structures outlined and labeled. This circumvents the common need to mentally superimpose a labeled drawing on a photograph or to inspect a photograph through a thicket of lead lines. We pored over hundreds of sections and chose what we believe to be comprehensive yet not excessive sets in each plane; sections illustrating major structures or major transitions are shown in greater detail and at a higher magnification. Every labeled structure is discussed briefly in an illustrated glossary at the end of the book. For this edition, minor adjustments were made to sections and photographs throughout the book; the functional pathways in chapter 8 were redone in color; an important new imaging modality (diffusion tensor imaging) was added to Chapter 9 ; and a number of new illustrations were added to the glossary.
The methods used in this book inevitably involve compromises. We labeled only structures that we believe are important for the knowledge base of undergraduate and professional students and omitted others dear to our hearts but perhaps not critical for these students. Hence the fasciola cinerea so prominent in Figure 7-8 is not labeled, and the indusium griseum is mentioned only briefly in a footnote. In addition, explicitly outlining structures required some simplifications, and complex entities are sometimes indicated more simply as single structures. We think the resulting pedagogical utility for students justifies these anatomical liberties.
Current technological methods allowed us to approach the construction of this atlas differently than we could have when it was first discussed. All the photographs of brains and sections used in the book were retouched digitally. Mounting medium, staining artifacts, and small cracks, folds, and scratches were removed from the digitized versions of the sections. The profiles of many small blood vessels were removed as well. The color balance was changed as appropriate to make the sections as uniform as possible. These procedures improved the illustrations aesthetically while leaving their essential content unchanged. In addition, computer-based surface-reconstruction techniques made possible the beautiful three-dimensional images that appear in Chapter 4 and elsewhere in the book.
Actual size references for images is for print only; electronic versions will vary depending on the platform and device.

This book could never have happened without the help of many friends and colleagues. The photographic expertise of Nathan Nitzky, Jeb Zirato, and others in the Division of Biomedical Communications is evident throughout the book. Grant Dahmer and Dr. Norman Koelling prepared the prosections shown in Chapter 1 . The sections shown in Chapter 2 were cut by Shelley Rowley, and those in Chapter 3 by John Nolte s colleague and friend, Pam Eller. John Sundsten produced the three-dimensional images shown in Chapter 4 and in some other parts of the book and shared in our excitement about this project. Paul Yakovlev, as detailed shortly, was the central figure in the production of the sections shown in Chapters 5 through 7 . Cody Thorstenson played a major role in retouching the images of these sections. Jay s colleague and friend, Cheryl Cotman, produced the three-dimensional reconstructions of the limbic system shown in Chapter 8 . Drs. Ray Carmody, Robert Handy, Elena Plante, and Joe Seeger provided the images shown in Chapter 9 and helped with their interpretation. Sasha Zill first described the strumus. My sweetheart, Kathy, was patient and proud. I thank them all.
I especially thank my co-author on the first three editions of this atlas, Jay B. Angevine Jr., who passed away in October 2011. Without the whole-brain sections in Chapters 5 through 7 , which Jay played a critical role in producing, this atlas would never have come about. Anyone who met or worked with Dr. Angevine could not help being struck by his abiding and infectious curiosity about the brain
