From the Back Cover:
The MRI Atlas of the Human Cerebellum constitutes the most complete, detailed work on the human cerebellum to date. It presents images in the three cardinal planes (sagittal, coronal, and horizontal) at 2-mm intervals using both magnetic resonance images within the proportional stereotaxic space of Talairach and cryosections of postmortem human material. The cerebellar fissures and lobules and their relationship to each other are shown in exquisite detail and include the location of the cerebellar nuclei and their relationship to the lobules and fissures. Three-dimensional reconstructions of cerebellum show the labeled fissures visible on the external surface, and 3-D visualizations of the fissures themselves are presented for the first time.
The MRI Atlas of the Human Cerebellum presents a new nomenclature system that is easier to use, aids in understanding the organization of the cerebellum, and is consistent with earlier work on the anatomy of the cerebellum in animals and the development of the human cerebellum in infants. This timely atlas facilitates the new and expanding era of scientific inquiry into the structure and diverse functions of the human cerebellum.
