The fourth volume in the Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development series, The Human Brain During the Late First Trimester provides new information about features of the perinatal brain. It deals with brain development during the late first trimester (GW11-GW7.5). The major theme of this volume is the identification of stretches and patches (mosaics) of the NEP matrix along the hypertrophied telencephalic, diencephalic, mesencephalic, and rhombencephalic superventricles. Many putative migratory paths of young nerons on their way to their settling sites are also identified. In the younger specimens, the brain sections are presented as they are embedded in the skull and developing facial structures. The older specimens show the onset of development of some of the large fiber tracts. Like the rest of the series, it contains photographs of the entire brain arranged in companion plates that include two parts: a large, high resolution black and white photograph and a "ghost image" of the photograph with unabbreviated labels. It is a user-friendly survey of the complex structural processes that occur during human CNS development. This volume can be purchased as part of the complete five volume set.

SEE THE ENTIRE RANGE OF STRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT

A volume in the Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development series, The Spinal Cord from Gestational Week 4 to the 4th Postnatal Month presents unique illustrations of structural development. With its clearly labeled photographs and extensive quantitative comparisons, you'll gain new insights into the steps involved in the morphogenesis of the mature spinal cord.

YOUR COMPLETE GUIDE TO NORMAL DEVELOPMENT

The first comprehensive study of its kind, the five-volume Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development Series allows you to:

· Observe the complex structural processes that normally occur during human development
· Better evaluate neural developmental disorders
· Design experiments that more efficiently target the root causes of neural disorders

The hypothalamus is a vitally important component of the vertebrate nervous system, being involved in the regulation of the pituitary gland, the autonomic nervous system, and the central and peripheral motor systems; and implicated in such functions as reproduction, feeding, drinking, aggression, vigilance, and some other not clearly understood motivational processes. The development of the hypothalamus is generally recognized as an important field of inquiry, and many studies are available that deal with the biochemical, electrophysiologi- cal, morphological, and behavioral maturation of one or another component of this unique brain region. However, comprehensive studies of the development of the hypothalamus are scant. Some of the early attempts have been reviewed by Diepen (1962). Among the more recent studies, some in the context of de- scriptions of the development of the entire diencephalon, are those by Rose (1942) in the rabbit; Luyendijk (1944) and Niimi et al. (1962) in the mouse; Auer (1951) and Keyser (1972) in the hamster; Stroer (1956), Coggeshall (1964), and Hyyppa (1969) in the rat; and Gilbert (1953), Kahle (1956), and Richter (1965) in man. Thymidine radiography was utilized in the study by Ifft (1972) in the rat, Shimada and Nakamura (1973) in the mouse, and Wyss and Sripanid- ku1chai (1985) in the cat.

The study of the development of the spinal cord has a relatively long history. The spinal cord was singled out as a favorable site when cytological techniques were first applied to the study of the embryonic development of the nervous system. Bidder and Kupffer (1857), using the new procedure of hardening nerve tissue with chromic acid (Hannover 1844), made an investigation of spinal cord development in fetal sheep. They reported that the cellular central mass of the spinal cord develops before its fibrous envelope, deducing from this that the fibers of the white matter of the embryonic spinal cord were outgrowths of cells in the gray matter. Bidder and Kupffer also noted that in the spinal ganglia fibers grew out from cells in both directions, peripherally and centrally. Their report was one of the earliest ontogenetic lines of evidence in support of the later-formulated neuron doctrine (Waldeyer 1891). The spinal cord re mained a favorite topic of morphogenetic studies of the nervous system through out the last quarter of the nineteenth century, with seminal contributions made by His (1886, 1889), von Lenhossek (1889), Retzius (1898), and Ramon y Cajal (1960). Indeed, the preoccupation with the spinal cord in the early investigations of neural development had a lasting, and to some extent regrettable, influence on ideas about the ontogeny of the brain and on the terminology adopted by anatomists."

The aim of this investigation is threefold: (a) to determine the time of origin of neurons of the rat cranial nerve ganglia; (b) to reexamine the embryonic development of the cranial nerve ganglia in the light ofthese dating results; and (c) to attempt to relate the chronology of these peripheral events to developmental events in those nuclei of the medulla that are intimately associated with the cranial nerve ganglia. Although thymidine-radiography has been used for over 2 decades to investigate the time of origin of neurons, most of these studies dealt with central nervous struc tures. There are relatively few studies available concerning the birth dates of neurons in the peripheral nervous system. In fact, to our knowledge, there is only a single thymidine-radiographic report available dealing with the time of origin of neurons of a cranial nerve ganglion in a mammal; this is the recent study by Forbes and Welt (1981) of neurogenesis in the trigeminal ganglion of the rat. In the present study we determined the birth dates of neurons of the trigeminal, facial, vestibular, "glosso pharyngeal, and vagal ganglia of the rat. We utilized the progressively delayed com prehensive labeling procedure, a method which, in contrast to the single-pulse labeling procedure, allows the exact quantification of the proportion of neurons formed on a particular day."

This is the Second Volume of a five-volume set of atlases on the developing human central nervous system. With no other atlases available on the development of the human spinal cord and the brain during the second and third trimesters, this volume fills a large void in the current knowledge. Easy to use, it provides photographs of the entire brain or spinal cord sections arranged in companion plates that include two parts: a large, high resolution black and white photograph on the left page and a "ghost image" of the photograph on the right page with unabbreviated labels. This volume provides a user-friendly survey of the complex structural processes that occur during human CNS development.
