Features: This book provides a unique foundation for local anatomy of brain MRI scans, along with high-quality anatomical sections and corresponding high-resolution MRI images. For the study of the human brain, it includes a historical review of brain imaging and an analysis of basic reference planes for human brain examinations. Subsequent chapters offer a detailed introduction to the cerebral cortex, sulci, and gyri of the human brain, guided by annotations on high-resolution brain MRI images. Exploring the relationship between brain structure and function in the form of local anatomy, the book analyzes basic imaging methods and displayed anatomical images, with particular attention to the central region, perisylvian fissure, medial temporal lobe, and occipital lobe, as well as the core structures of the brain. The book concludes with a wide range of coronal images. This book helps neuroscientists, neuroradiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and students of anthropology better understand the localization of brain functions.
