Description
Learn the essential aspects of neuroanatomy and its clinical relevance with the field's most concise, trusted, and effective text
"...an excellent update of the neuroanatomy textthat has become a standard since its first publication in1938....The strengths of the book include the hundreds of easy tounderstand color line illustrations, the clear and concise languageof the text and the many tables of summarized information....It could behighly recommended to and would be enjoyed by medicalstudents and trainees in internal medicine, neurology, and neurosurgery,and also as a reference for clinicians in these fields,particularly those teaching students and trainees."--World Neurosurgery
For more than seventy years, Clinical Neuroanatomy has delivered a streamlined, comprehensive, and easy-to-remember synopsis of neuroanatomy and its functional and clinical applications. Emphasizing the most important concepts, facts, and structures, this well-illustrated and enjoyable-to-read text reflects the state-of-the-art in pathophysiology and the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders.
Features that make Clinical Neuroanatomy perfect for board review or as a clinical refresher:
Discussion of the latest advances in molecular and cellular biology in the context of neuroanatomy Clinical correlations to help you interpret and remember essential neuroanatomic concepts in terms of function and clinical application Numerous computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of the normal brain and spinal cord; functional magnetic resonance images that provide a noninvasive window on brain function; and neuroimaging studies that illustrate common pathological entities that affect the nervous system An Introduction to Clinical Thinking section that puts neuroanatomy in a unique clinical perspective Numerous tables that make the information clear and easy to remember A complete practice exam to test your knowledge Coverage of the basic structure and function of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves as well as clinical presentations of disease processes involving specific structures NEW full-color illustrations
