An Illustrated Terminologia Neuroanatomica

Provides a comprehensive overview of the terminology of the human central and peripheral nervous systems and related sensory organs

Uses the recently accepted Terminologia Neuroanatomica (TNA) put forward by the FIPAT (Federative International Programme for Anatomical Terminology)

Explains practically every term in use, in many cases illustrated with drawings, photomicrographs of sections, MRIs, and DTIs

Presents neuroanatomical, neuroembryological, and neurohistological terms alphabetically in standard English with American English spelling, the TNA official nomenclature in Latin, and brief descriptions for each term

Authors:

Hans J. ten Donkelaar, M.D., Ph.D., 935 Department of Neurology, Donders Center for

Medical Neuroscience, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center, has published three major works, not two; you probably forgot 'The Central Nervous

System of Vertebrates' (Nieuwenhuys, ten Donkelaar, Nicholson, Springer 1998)

Prof. Kachlík is Head of the Department of Anatomy of the Second Faculty of

Medicine of Charles University in Prague. He is an expert on anatomical nomenclature.

Prof. Tubbs serves as Chief Scientific Officer for the Seattle Foundation. He has published a

large number of papers, authored over 20 books, and is editor-in-chief of the journal Clinical

Anatomy. Hans J. ten Donkelaar (1946) studied Medicine at the University of Nijmegen (The Netherlands), where he received his M.D. (1974) and Ph.D. (1975). In 1978, he was appointed

Associate Professor of Neuroanatomy atthe Department of Anatomy and Embryology of that

University. His research interests are developmental and comparative aspects of motor

systems, developmental disorders of the CNS and neurodegenerative disease. With Rudolf

Nieuwenhuys and Charles Nicholson he published The Central Nervous System of Vertebrates

(1998, Springer) and with Anthony Lohman an anatomy and embryology textbook in Dutch,

which is now in its fourth edition (ten Donkelaar HJ, Oostra R-J 2014 Klinische Anatomie en

Embryologie. Springer Media/Houten/NL). In 1998, he came to the Department of Neurology of the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center to do research on developmental and neurodegenerative diseases. In 2006, he published with Martin Lammens and Akira Hori

Clinical Neuroembryology: Development and developmental disorders of the human central

nervous system (Springer), which is in its second edition now (2014), and in 2011 Clinical

Neuroanatomy: Brain circuitry and its disorders (Springer). Since 2012, he is Co-ordinator of

the FIPAT (Federative International Programme for Anatomical Terminology) Working

Group Neuroanatomy and responsible for the TNA.

David Kachlík (1974) studied Medicine in Prague, where he received his M.D. (1998) and

Ph.D. (2006). Since 1998, he worked in the Department of Anatomy of the Third Faculty of Medicine of the Charles University in Prague. In 2016, he was appointed Professor of Anatomy at its Second Faculty of Medicine. His research concerns vascular and

musculoskeletal anatomy, peripheral nerves and morphological terminology and

nomenclature. In 2010, he published with Pavel ech, Vladimír Musil and Václav Báa eské

Tlovdné Názvosloví (Brno), the Czech translation of the Terminologia Anatomica of 1998.

He is a member of FIPAT and published a series of influential papers on anatomical

terminology.

R. ShaneTubbs (1969) received his MS (1998) and Ph.D (2002) at the University of

Alabama, Birmingham, AL, where he started his career as a clinical anatomist and researcher.

His research focus has been on the so-called 'reverse translational anatomy research', where clinical problems are identified and solved with anatomical studies. He has published a large number of papers, authored over 20 books, and is editor-in-chief of the journal Clinical

Anatomy. He has recently moved to Seattle, WA, as the Chief Scientific Officer at the Seattle

Science Foundation, where he continues his research and teaching to medical professionals.

He is an editor of the 41th edition of Gray's Anatomy and recently published with

Mohammadali M. Shoja and Marios Loukas Bergman's Comprehensive Encyclopedia of

Human Anatomic Variation (Wiley, Blackwell, Hoboken, New Jersey, 2016). He is also a

member of FIPAT.
