Synopsis: This superb color atlassets a new standard in neuroanatomy by presenting around 300 detailedthin-sectioned images of the human head, including the brain, with 0. 1-mmintervals and a pixel size of 0. 1 mm × 0. 1 mm. Anew reference system employed for this purpose is clearly explained, andstructures are fully annotated in the horizontal, coronal, and sagittal planes. Recent advances in 7T MRI and 7T TDI have considerably enhanced imaging of thehuman brain, thereby impacting on both neuroscience research and clinicalpractice. Moreover, the information gained from initiatives involvingphotography of thin slices of human cadavers, such as the Visible HumanProjects, Visible Korean and Chinese Visible Human, has enriched knowledge ofneuroanatomy and thereby facilitated the interpretation of suchultra-high-field resolution images. The exquisite images contained within thisatlas will be invaluable in providing both researchers and clinicians withimportant new insights.
