Neuroanatomy Atlas Contents | Introduction Atlas Links |
Anatomical structures are identified on the following pages:
Here is a list of the regions illustrated in the atlas. The table also reports the abbreviation (nickname) used and suggests the appropriate page of the atlas to inspect. The relevant page is denoted by a link (S= sagittal renderings, C= coronal, A= axial, X= anterior commissure, M= central sulus, W= white matter).
