This atlas and accompanying DVD of the central nervous system is intended as a supplement in neuroanatomy for medical school students. The dissections and specimens can be studied at length and as often as necessary in order to gain an orientation of the complexity of the human brain and to coordinate this with the terminology of the central nervous system. The photographic atlas provides ready access to still material and follows the layout of the film sequences. Because not all visible structures can be named in a single demonstration, the picture atlas supplements with detailed labeling in parallel to the main scenes of the DVD. Special attention is given to the presentation of the clinically important meninges as well as the cranial nerves and the vessels of the inner skull.
