Cytoarchitectonics of the Adult Human Cortex
$ 49.5
Description
Why is this work so important? The opus by Economo & Koskinas is even today by far the most detailed cytoarchitectonic description of human neocortical areas, their features and their borders. The authors also include extensive discussions of all prior research on each area, revealing that the "old masters" knew very much which in the intervening decades has been forgotten and sometimes "re-discovered." Most "modern" Anglo-Saxon authors cite Brodmann's 1909 work "Die Lokalisationslehre" for any reference to localization in the neocortex. The purpose of this publication is to help rectify the lack of detailed knowledge about the cytoarchitectonics of the adult human cortex. This volume is a view of the original atlas which accompanied the text volume. The original Plates were 40x40 cm prints of photomicrographs, so these small images are just an introduction.
