The Neuroanatomic Basis Of Clinical Neurology

Bridging the gap between the peripheral and central nervous systems, the second edition of Neuroanatomical Basis of Clinical Neurology enriches understanding of neurological conditions through a conceptual approach to neuronal circuitry. The book retains the basic outline of contents from the first edition, integrating structural organization with

Superbly illustrated and clearly written Neuroanatomical Basis of Clinical Neurology bridges the gap between the twin disciplines of neuroanatomy and neurology, aiding the understanding of neurologic disorders by investigating their anatomic basis. The extensive coverage of the peripheral and central nervous systems in the context of neurological disorders and conditions sets it apart from other neuroanatomy texts. The book covers both morphological and functional aspects of neuroanatomy. It describes the anatomy of each component of the central, peripheral, and somatic nervous systems in detail, and then demonstrates the relationship between neuroanatomy and the function of the sensory and motor systems. The author has skilfully integrated text and diagrams, highlighting and clarifying the numerous functionally important pathways in the central and peripheral nervous systems. In addition, he includes descriptions of molecular pathways within cells, and the ways in which their perturbation can give rise to disease mechanisms. The extensive illustrations and comprehensive coverage combine to make Neuroanatomical Basis of Clinical Neurology an extraordinarily complete resource to the human nervous system and the principles of neuroscience.

Gray's Clinical Neuroanatomy focuses on how knowing functional neuroanatomy is essential for a solid neurologic background for patient care in neurology. Elliot Mancall, David Brock, Susan Standring and Alan Crossman present the authoritative guidance of Gray's Anatomy along with 100 clinical cases to highlight the relevance of anatomical knowledge in this body area and illustrate the principles of localization. Master complex, detailed, and difficult areas of anatomy with confidence. View illustrations from Gray's Anatomy and radiographs that depict this body area in thorough anatomical detail. Apply the principles of localization thanks to 100 brief case studies that highlight key clinical conditions. Tap into the anatomical authority of Gray's Anatomy for high quality information from a name you trust. Presents the guidance and expertise of a high profile team of authors and top clinical and academic contributors.

An account of neuroanatomy and its clinical applications. Each chapter contains study guidelines and self-test questions. This edition includes a chapter on cerebro vascular disease, MR scans of the brain and angiograms demonstrating clinical conditions.

In this day where research grants are the primary focus, many young investigators are thrown into neurosciences courses without any prior preparation in neuroanatomy. This book is designed to help prepare them by introducing many of the fundamentals of the nervous system. It represents the essentials of an upper level biology course on the central nervous system. It is not designed to be a clinical approach to the nervous system, but rather it approaches the nervous system from a basic science perspective that intertwines both structure and function as an organizing teaching and learning model. Medical and dental examples are included but the main focus is on neuroscience.
