MRI/DTI Atlas of the Human Brainstem in Transverse and Sagittal Planes presents a detailed view of the human brainstem in DTI/MRI. It is the first ever MRI or histological atlas to present detailed diagrams of sagittal views of the brainstem. Presenting data of unprecedented quality, images are juxtaposed with detailed diagrams in the transverse and sagittal planes. The atlas features a 50 micron resolution for the GRE and 200 microns for the FAC and DWI, 8000 times higher than that seen in a clinical MRI and 1000 times higher than that seen in a clinical DTI scan, all based on one brain.
This atlas is important for neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, pathologists, anatomists, neurophysiologists, radiologists, radiotherapists (e.g., for cyberknife guidance), and graduate students in neuroscience.
- Presents the first ever detailed MRI-DTI atlas on the human brainstem
- Discusses primary data to help researchers identify brainstem structures in their own preparations from neuroanatomical, physiological, neuropharmacological and gene expression studies
- Accompanies the gold standard reference on the neuroanatomy of the human nervous system for neuroscientists and experimental psychologists
- Includes the Expert Consult eBook version that is compatible with PC, Mac and most mobile devices and eReaders, thus allowing readers to browse, search and interact with content
Standard neuroanatomy lab atlas for all labs doing neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, behavioral neuroscience, or molecular expression/cloning/neurogenetics in the mouse brain

George Paxinos
George Paxinos has written 62 books on the brain of humans, monkeys, rodents and birds. His first atlas, The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates, is the most cited neuroscience publication. His Atlas of the Human Brain received The Award for Excellence in Publishing in Medical Science (Assoc American Publishers, 1997) and The British Medical Association Illustrated Book Award (2016). His eco-fiction book A River Divided (georgepaxinos.com.au) considers the question of whether the brain in the Goldilocks Zone - the right “size” for survival.

Kristie Smith
Dr Kristie Smith completed her BSc (Psychology) at the University of Wollongong and Master of Brain and Mind Sciences at the Brain and Mind Centre where she focused on exploring sleep disturbances in young and older persons with a lifetime history of mood disorders.
In 2020 Kristie received her PhD, also from the Brain and Mind Centre, for investigating the genetic, molecular, and neurobiological determinants of post-traumatic stress disorder in a mouse model.
During her PhD candidature Kristie committed to developing advanced microscopy skills which led to her placement as a finalist in the Bosch Advanced Microscopy Facility Micrograph of the Year competition. Her Neuroart is currently displayed at the Brain and Mind Centre and researchers have publicised her work both nationally and internationally at scientific meetings.
