Neuroanatomy For Medical Students

his revised and updated neuroanatomy text gives students in medical and other health programs an understanding of the functional organization of the nervous system and indicates how injury and disease can result in neurological deficits. The book prepares students to interpret many symptoms and signs presented by a neurological patient, so that a correct diagnosis and/or appropriate treatment plan can be made. New to the Fifth Edition is a completely reorganized content integrating structure with function in a systems based format, and a reduction in length due to the presentation of structures with pathways.

The First South Asian Edition of Snell's Clinical Neuroanatomy has been revised primarily as per the new competency-basedcurriculum recommended by the Medical Council of India. This globally admired text provides an understanding of clinically orientedneuroanatomy comprehensively for medical students and health professionals. Salient Features of South Asian Edition: Content has been structured as per the new competency-based curriculum. Keeping the essence of the text, chapters have been revised methodically. Anatomy relating the different parts of the skull to brainareas is included in Chapter 1. Chapter objectives and clinical cases emphasize the practical application. Updated Clinical Notes highlight important clinical considerations for quick reference and review. Revised bulleted Key Concepts in each chapter ensure a focused clinically relevant elucidation of neuroanatomy. Clinical Problem Solving and Chapter Review Questions equip students for the challenges encountered in clinical practice. Enhanced color illustrations and new photographs and tables have been incorporated to facilitate understanding of the fundamentalconcepts and neuroanatomical structures. Frequently Asked Questions have been added at the end of each chapter considering professional examination of various universities. In addition to the existing “Color Atlas of Brain,” “Atlas of Noteworthy Diagnostic Images” has also been added to bridge the gapbetween basic neuroanatomical concepts and clinical application. A comprehensive Question bank, including over 450 questions, is provided online.

The books presents neuroanatomy in a simple, to-the-point format. The text is richly supported by illustrations, facilitating clarity and understanding. It covers the topics in appropriate depth to suit the knowledge need of the undergraduate medical students.

Neuroanatomy for Medical Students, Second Edition provides a fundamental knowledge base that is essential to a proper understanding of the clinical neurosciences. This edition includes additional topics on neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and applied anatomy. The areas on cell membrane structure and function, motor control, muscle spindles, spinocerebellar tracts, reticular formation, striatal transmitters, and retinal neurons are updated. This book also expands the topics on pineal gland, pituitary tumors, split brain effect, visual cortex, neural plasticity, and barrel fields. The topography of ventricles and summary table of cranial nerve are likewise revised. Other materials covered include nerve growth factor, neural transplantation, dorsal column transection, cerebellar memory, and perivascular spaces. The neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, nuclear magnetic resonance, and position emission tomography are also discussed. This publication is a good reference for medical students intending to acquire knowledge of basic neurobiology.

Neuroanatomy for Medical Students ...

This text provides students with the basic knowledge of neuroanatomy needed to practise medicine. Each chapter starts with a neurological case history which sets the scene. This is then followed by a chapter outline for quick access to material, and chapter objectives to focus the student on the most important material in that chapter.

This book provides medical students with the information to build skills that will aid them in studying for any level of their board exams. It also prepares students with the ability to look at a patient’s neurological signs and symptoms, logically think through the various tracts, and determine where a lesion is located. Unique and comprehensive, this textbook specifically fills a gap in the literature for medical students studying for their board exams and those about to go on a neuro-related rotation. Written by a renowned professor with over 25 years of teaching experience specific to board exam preparation, chapters are crafted with the goal of aiding students in understanding concepts by explaining the reasoning behind signs and symptoms, rather than pure memorization. Medical Neuroanatomy for the Boards and the Clinic is the go-to book for students seeking a practical yet nuanced reference for board exam preparation.​
