A concise, highly visual overview of neuroanatomy and its functional underpinnings Clinical Neuroanatomy, Twenty-Eighth Edition offers an accessible, easy-to-remember synopsis of neuroanatomy and its functional and clinical implications. Since many of us learn and remember better when material is presented visually, this acclaimed resource includes not only clinical material such as brain scans and pathological specimens, but also hundreds of diagrams and tables that are designed to be clear and memorable. Here's why Clinical Neuroanatomy is essential for board review or as a clinical refresher: * NEW SECTION summarizes the most important take-away lessons from each chapter * More than 300 full-color illustrations * A unique chapter on Introduction to Clinical Thinking puts neuroanatomy in clear clinical perspective * Numerous CT and MRI scans * Block diagrams illustrate actions of each muscle (essential for the clinical motor examination) * Hundreds of diagrams and tables encapsulate important information * Essentials for the Clinical Neuroanatomist list appears in each chapter * Clear and memorable root-by-root and nerve-by-nerve illustrations of sensory areas and muscle intervention * 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 * Emphasizes must-know concepts, facts, and structures * Appendices include The Neurologic Examination, Testing Muscle Function, Spinal Nerves and Plexuses, and Questions and Answers * Case studies demonstrate how concepts apply to real-world situations If your practice or education would benefit from an engagingly written, well-illustrated overview of neuroanatomy and its functional underpinnings, this trusted resource belongs on your desk.

Understanding how the brain is organized and visualizing its pathways and connections can be conceptually challenging. The Atlas of Functional Neuroanatomy, Third Edition addresses this challenge by presenting a clear visual guide to the human central nervous system (CNS). This edition has been completely reorganized to facilitate learning the structure and function of the CNS. The material is suitable for medical students, non-neurology residents, and other health professionals who seek a solid understanding of the brain. This edition: * Presents an instructive format that fosters a thorough understanding of complex neuroanatomy, emphasizing the functional perspective and supplemented with clinical aspects * Incorporates enhanced illustrations, retaining the selective labeling of the nuclei and tracts (pathways) * Includes new material explaining the visual system, meninges, venous system, and limbic system * Features a substantial increase in the number of neuroradiological (CT and MRI) images An accompanying Web site (www.atlasbrain.com) includes the book's illustrations along with rollover labeling, animation of the pathways and connections, a glossary, and narrated video demonstrations of the brain.

"Netter's Concise Neuroanatomy" illustrates, as only Netter can, an understanding of neuroanatomy coupled with diagrams. It can either be used alongside existing medical and allied health neuroanatomy textbooks or monographs, or as a stand alone neuroanatomy text.

Now fully revised and updated, this leading ICT series volume offers concise, superbly illustrated coverage of neuroanatomy, that throughout makes clear the relevance of the anatomy to the practice of modern clinical neurology.
