The Human Brain during the First Trimester 3.5- to 4.5-mm Crown-Rump Lengths 1st Edition

Capture the earliest mysteries of human neurodevelopment with The Human Brain during the First Trimester: 3.5- to 4.5-mm Crown-Rump Lengths, 1st Edition by Shirley A. Bayer and Joseph Altman. This focused, authoritative work instantly draws in clinicians, sonographers, embryologists, and medical students who need precise insight into the brain’s formation during a crucial window of the first trimester.

Inside, the authors examine the micro- and macro-structure of the embryonic brain at 3.5–4.5 mm crown-rump lengths, translating complex developmental anatomy into clear, actionable knowledge. Detailed descriptions of early neural tube differentiation, regional patterning, and the emergence of primordial structures are presented with clinical relevance—making it an indispensable reference for prenatal diagnosis, research, and education.

Why this book matters: by connecting morphology to developmental timing, it supports more accurate interpretation of prenatal imaging and histologic specimens. Readers gain practical perspectives on normal variant vs. pathologic findings, helping improve diagnostic confidence and patient counseling in obstetrics and fetal medicine.

Ideal for a global audience—from university departments in North America and Europe to clinics across Asia and beyond—this first edition balances scholarly rigor with accessible prose. Whether preparing for case review, shaping research protocols, or teaching neurodevelopmental anatomy, professionals will find this volume both a dependable desk reference and a concise learning tool.
