Marco Catani is a Clinical Senior Lecturer in the Department of
Forensic and Neurodevelopmental Science at The Institute of
Psychiatry and Honorary Consultant Psychiatrist at the Maudsley
Hospital. He is the Head of the Natbrainlab at King's College
London, UK. Over the last ten years he has pioneered the use of
novel imaging methods to re-explore the neuroanatomy of connections
and describe new pathways of the human brain.
Michel Thiebaut de Schotten is a research fellow in the Department
of Forensic and Neurodevelopmental Science at the Institute of
Psychiatry. He is member of the Natbrainlab at King's College
London, UK. In the last five years he has combined several modality
of neuroimaging to understand the role of the white matter networks
in the human living brain.
'The Atlas of Human Brain Connections is intended to help
neuroscientists and clinicians in the process of correlating
structure with function, and lesions with symptoms." With those
spare words, the authors introduce beginners and experts alike to
their wondrous, 500-page treasure-trove of fiber tracts,
beautifully illustrated in all three planes of serial sections
(axial, coronal, and sagittal) as well as in two-dimensional
reconstructions. Faced with the reality of its myriad highways of
communication, we are led to think anew about how the human brain
performs its miracles. To that end, this uncommon view of brain
structure will soon become indispensable.'

Neuroscience in the Laboratory of Neuropsychology, NIMH*
Cognitive neuroscience is at a crossroads. On one hand, it sits on
a rich data set of cortical connectivity in the monkey, an animal
that lacks the complicated behaviors of interest. On the other
hand, it is amassing an even richer set of facts on the functional
map of the human brain, but with relatively little information on
underlying structural connectivity. This lavishly illustrated
volume by Catani and Thiebaut de Schotten represents a major step
in closing this gap. The authors have combined the science of
diffusion tensor imaging with the art of tractography in a
comprehensive work slated to become a standard reference for
exploring the structural foundations of human brain function.
