Full Description
This study of the brain stem and cerebellum is the sequel to the author's "The Human Brain". The first part of the book describes the surface of the brain stem and cerebellum, as well as their location in the posterior cranial fossa. The structures of the brain stem and cerebellum are then described, followed by a brief survey of their functions, enabling the reader to obtain an overall view of the role both of nuclei and of fasciculi. Finally, the vascular network is analyzed in detail (superficial pial vessels and intranervous territories of deep vessels). The second part provides the reader with an understanding of the sectional anatomy on the basis of three-dimensional views and a comparison with MRI views.
