Jean Marie Le Minor – författare

Divis� en 13 chapitres, cet ouvrage pr�sente les notions essentielles de l'anatomie du syst�me nerveux central humain et permet l'acquisition de bases solides et rigoureuses n�cessaires pour la neurophysiologie, la s�m�iologie et la pathologie neurologiques, et pour l'imagerie m�dicale. Chaque chapitre comprend : . une partie de texte consacr�e aux fondamentaux du cours, pr�sent�e de mani�re synth�tique, syst�matique et hi�rarchis�e et adoptant la terminologie anatomique internationale (Terminologia anatomica) francis�e ; de plus, de nombreuses notes permettent d'approfondir la lecture avec des notions concernant l'embryologie et l'organogen�se, l'histologie, les variantes de la normale, la signification fonctionnelle et l'int�r�t clinique des structures, ou encore l'�tymologie des termes, . une s�rie de planches originales, permettant � la fois de visualiser les �l�ments d�crits dans le texte et de constituer un support pour les travaux pratiques en anatomie ou en imagerie. Enfin, un atlas d'anatomie sectionnelle, comportant 68 coupes selon les trois plans de r�f�rence principaux (frontal, transversal, sagittal), vient compl�ter l'ensemble. Au total, l'ouvrage comprend 163 planches originales, pr�sentant une anatomie normale in vivo, r�alis�es gr�ce aux donn�es d'examens en imagerie par r�sonance magn�tique (IRM 3 teslas). La mise en page d'ensemble, le grand format des illustrations et la disposition des l�gendes facilitent la compr�hension et la m�morisation ainsi que l'utilisation directe des connaissances en imagerie m�dicale et en clinique. Le tout est accompagn� de plus de 50 planches anatomiques � compl�ter en ligne, afin de s'entra�ner et de v�rifier l'acquisition des connaissances.

We owe a great debt to Jean Baptiste Marc Bourgery (1797–1849) for his Atlas of Anatomy, which was not only a massive event in medical history, but also remains one of the most comprehensive and beautifully illustrated anatomical treatises ever published.Bourgery began work on his magnificent atlas in 1830 in cooperation with illustrator Nicolas Henri Jacob (1782–1871), a student of the French painter Jacques Louis David. The first volumes were published the following year, but completion of the treatise required nearly two decades of dedication; Bourgery lived just long enough to finish his labor of love, but the last of the treatise’s eight volumes was not published in its entirety until five years after his death.The eight volumes of Bourgery’s treatise cover descriptive anatomy, surgical anatomy and techniques (exploring in detail nearly all the major operations that were performed during the first half of the 19th century), general anatomy and embryology, and microscopic anatomy. Jacob’s spectacular hand-colored lithographs are remarkable for their clarity, color, and aesthetic appeal, reflecting a combination of direct laboratory observation and illustrative research. Unsurpassed to this day, the images offer exceptional anatomical insight, not only for those in the medical field but also for artists, students, and anyone interested in the workings and wonder of the human body.
