Summary:
Now in its Sixth Edition, this popular text gives medical and allied health students a complete and clinically oriented introduction to neuroanatomy. Each chapter begins with clearly stated objectives, includes clinical cases, and ends with clinical notes, clinical problems, and review questions. More than 450 illustrations enhance the text. This edition's illustrations have been reworked for greater visual appeal and more diagnostic images have been added. Selected illustrations from Haines' Neuroanatomy: An Atlas of Structures, Sections, and Systems, Sixth Edition have been included. Coverage of neurophysiology has been expanded and updated. A bound-in CD-ROM contains 386 review questions with answers and explanations.
