The present edition of The Human Central Nervous System differs
considerably from its predecessors. In previous editions, the text
was essentially confined to a section dealing with the various
functional systems of the brain. This section, which has been
rewritten and updated, is now preceded by 15 newly written
chapters, which introduce the pictorial material of the gross
anatomy, the blood vessels and meninges and the microstructure of
its various parts and deal with the development, topography and
functional anatomy of the spinal cord, the brain stem and the
cerebellum, the diencephalon and the telencephalon. Great pains
have been taken to cover the most recent concepts and data. As
suggested by the front cover, there is a focus on the evolutionary
development of the human brain. Throughout the text numerous
correlations with neuropathology and clinical n- rology have been
made. After much thought, we decided to replace the full Latin
terminology, cherished in all previous editions, with English and
Anglicized Latin terms. It has been an emotional farewell from
beautiful terms such as decussatio hipposideriformis W- nekinkii
and pontes grisei caudatolenticulares. Not only the text, but also
the p- torial material has been extended and brought into harmony
with the present state of knowledge. More than 230 new
illustrations have been added and many others have been revised.
The number of macroscopical sections through the brain has been
extended considerably. Together, these illustrations now comprise a
complete and convenient atlas for interpreting neuroimaging
studies.
