Dr Gulgun Sengul, MD is a specialist in the anatomy of the spinal cord and brainstem, with a particular interest in pain pathways. Dr Sengul co-authored 'The Spinal Cord: A Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation Text and Atlas' published by Elsevier in 2009. Dr Sengul was first author of the 'Atlas of the Spinal Cord of the Rat, Mouse, Marmoset, Rhesus, and Human' published by Elsevier in 2013.

""...presents human neuroanatomy including many illustrations, photographs, and MR images.... This edition has great images of the brain and straightforward diagrams to show connectivity and neural pathways.... [A] complete exploration of the central and peripheral nervous system starting with its development, gross, and histological organization.... The art and atlas images are cutting edge and would be helpful in a class or lab discussion of neuroanatomy. Clear paragraphs that cover the topics.... [A] great addition and resource to neuroanatomy education. It is simple yet complete, an indication of mastery in the field.... [It] can act as a powerful learning or educational resource for first or second year medical or health science students trying to focus on learning the basics of neuroanatomy, but still introducing key clinically relevant topics."" --©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Lesley Knight Gilmer, PhD (University of Nebraska Medical Center)
