Description
"Neuroscience" is a comprehensive text that emphasizes the structure of the nervous system, the correlation of structure and function, and the structure/function relationships particularly pertinent to the practice of medicine. Although not primarily about pathology, the book includes the basis of a variety of neurological disorders. It could serve equally well as a text for medical students or for undergraduate neuroscience courses in which many of the students are premeds. Being both comprehensive and authoritative, it is also appropriate for graduate and professional use. The Second Edition offers a host of new features including a new art program and "Sylvius 2.0: Fundamentals of Human Neural Structure", an interactive CD-ROM atlas of the human nervous system.

Description
Sylvius 2.0 features a completely redesigned, intuitive, and larger (800X600) interface, colorized (vs. greyscale) brains, functional information on labeled structures, audio pronunciation of neuroanatomical terms, and a self-quiz mode. The program consists of six interactive modules: Surface Anatomy (shows whole-brain surface features from eight different vantage points); Sectional Anatomy (virtually sections the whole-brain specimen in the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes); Spinal Cord and Brainstem (uses a cross-sectional atlas or whole-brain model to examine these structures); Pathways (focuses on the major neural connections and pathways); Animations (QT and QTVR movies of both whole and dissected rotations); and Index and Reference (searches the visual glossary for a brief description of about 200 anatomical structures).
