The Human Brain during the First Trimester 40- to 42-mm Crown-Rump Lengths 1st Edition

Discover The Human Brain during the First Trimester 40- to 42-mm Crown-Rump Lengths, 1st Edition by Shirley A. Bayer and Joseph Altman — an essential, compact reference that illuminates early fetal neuroanatomy with clarity and authority. This book zeroes in on the pivotal 40–42 mm crown–rump length window, a stage when fundamental brain structures emerge and clinical interpretation becomes both possible and crucial.

Rich yet concise, the text translates complex prenatal neurodevelopment into accessible language for clinicians, researchers, and advanced students. Detailed descriptions of embryonic brain regions, midline formation, ventricular systems, and early cortical organization are paired with clear, annotated imagery to support accurate identification and comparison during first-trimester assessments. The authors’ combined expertise offers a reliable synthesis of developmental milestones and morphological markers relevant to obstetrics, radiology, neuropathology, and developmental neuroscience.

Whether you interpret early ultrasound or MRI, teach embryology, or conduct research in fetal brain development, this volume provides practical insights that improve diagnostic confidence and scholarly understanding. Emphasizing reproducible anatomical landmarks and developmental timing, it helps bridge the gap between embryological theory and clinical application across settings in North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.

Compact and authoritative, The Human Brain during the First Trimester 40- to 42-mm Crown-Rump Lengths is an indispensable resource for anyone working with early prenatal neuroimaging or fetal brain research.
