Description:

Learn the essential aspects of neuroanatomy and its clinical relevance with the field's most concise, trusted, and effective text

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
