Color Atlas Of The Brain And Spinal Cord

This colour atlas presents neuroanatomy from a functional viewpoint. Attention is paid to correlating the material used with routine examinations in the living patient and with pathological sections at autopsy.

Taking a uniquely visual approach to complex subject matter, this pocket Flexibook gives you a full understanding of the basics of neuroscience with 193 exquisite color plates and concise text. Following in the successful tradition of the basic sciences Thieme Flexibooks, this title presents anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology of neuroscience.You will find in-depth coverage of: neuroanatomy, embryology, cellular neuroscience, somatosensory processing, motor control, brain stem and cranial outflow, autonomic nervous system, and much more! The book is designed to supplement larger texts and is ideal as both an introduction to the subject and a complete study guide for exam preparation. It will prove invaluable for all medical and biology students.

Master the structure and function of the normal human brain and spinal cord with this beautifully illustrated photographic atlas. This thoroughly updated new edition features nearly 400 full-color photographs that demonstrate the gross, histological, and imaging appearance of central nervous system anatomy. Brief accompanying text explains the relationships and functionality of the structures illustrated. This atlas is an invaluable reference in the fields of anatomy, neurology, neurosurgery, psychology, nursing, speech therapy, psychiatry and biology. Book jacket.

This atlas provides a selection of operations for intra- and extradural pathologies of the spinal cord and its nerve roots. Pathologies involving the spinal cord threaten the patients ́ mobility, independence or even life. Fortunately, the overwhelming majority are of benign nature, so that surgery plays an important role or even represents their treatment of choice. With modern imaging and microsurgical techniques neurological functions can be maintained or even improved for the majority of patients.The content is presented in a standardized fashion: the preoperative history is followed by preoperative images leading to a preoperative diagnosis and surgical strategy. The intraoperative images intend to illustrate individual surgical steps one after the other to guide the reader through each of these operations. Each case is concluded with postoperative images and information on clinical outcome.The atlas features extradural soft tissue tumors, intradural extramedullary and intramedullary tumors, malformations of the craniocervical junction and spinal canal, spinal arteriovenous malformations and pathologies of spinal meninges. The operations selected are meant to provide an overview covering different aspects of each pathology. With more than 1400 intraoperative images this atlas may serve as a reference for neurosurgeons dealing with spinal cord pathologies.

A fully revised and updated world-class neurology atlas The nervous system and musculature are affected in nearly all diseases, making accurate diagnosis of specific neurologic conditions especially challenging. Now in a long awaited second edition, this acclaimed Thieme Flexibook elucidates even the most difficult concepts through its clear, compact text and lavish illustrations. Logically organized, packed with essential information and marked by an unparalleled art program, Color Atlas of Neurology, Second Edition is indispensable in the classroom or clinic. Key features: Covers the entire scope of the field, from anatomy, physiology and structural basics to normal and abnormal nervous system function, neurologic syndromes (e.g., cerebral and spinal disorders, peripheral neuropathies, myopathies) and state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques Creates didactic, two-page teaching units by placing lucid text opposite exquisite, fully labeled illustrations – ideal for learning and retention Includes new sections on the limbic system, vasculature of the cerebellum, spinal fluid, neuroimmunology, neurodegeneration, neurotransmitters, botulismus and more Highlights all signs, symptoms, and neurologic disease patterns for quick recognition and identification of disorders Provides a comprehensive section of tables for easy access to the most important facts needed in the clinic Perfect as a current review, refresher or clinical reference, Color Atlas of Neurology, Second Edition makes a major contribution to the field. Medical students and residents will be pleased with its clear, instructive presentation of sophisticated topics, while neurologists, neurosurgeons, primary care physicians, nurses and other medical personnel will find this stunning visual guide essential in daily practice.

Emphasizing clinical anatomy, the text integrates current information from an array of medical disciplines into the discussions of the nervous system and sensory organs, including in-depth coverage of key topics, including molecular signaling, the interplay between ion channels and transmitters, imaging techniques such as PET, CT, and NMR, and much more.
