Product Description
Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases brings a pioneering interactive approach to the teaching of neuroanatomy, using over 100 actual Clinical Cases and high-quality radiologic images to bring the subject to life. This approach allows students to appreciate the clinical relevance of structural details as they are being learned, and to integrate knowledge of disparate functional systems, since a single lesion may affect several different neural structures and pathways. Most of the book comprises chapters that explain the major neuroanatomical systems. Each chapter first presents background material including an overview of relevant neuroanatomical structures and pathways, and a brief discussion of related clinical disorders. The second half of each chapter is devoted to clinical cases. The cases begin with a narrative of how the patient developed symptoms, and what deficits were found upon neurological examination. Boldface type highlights important symptoms and signs. A series of questions challenges the reader to deduce the neuroanatomical location of the patient's lesion, and the diagnosis. Discussion and answers follow, and an epilogue reveals the actual outcome. One of the book's most innovative features is the inclusion of CT and MRI scans that depict each patient's lesion. These radiographs help the reader develop skills in interpreting the same kinds of diagnostic images employed in clinical practice. The book is intended primarily for first- or second-year medical students enrolled in a basic neuroanatomy, neurobiology or neuroscience course. It is also a valuable resource for advanced medical students and residents, as well as students of other health professions, notably physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, dentistry, speech therapy, and neuropsychology.

The book for learning Neuroanatomy if you have a clinical perspective/ interest by Kelso O'Connor (Dublin, Ireland)

The book for learning Neuroanatomy if you have a clinical perspective/ interest. Beautiful illustrations on every page, fantastic clear descriptions. I need say no more. Detail lacking in some places due to the huge amount of knowledge we have about the brain but it's still a very comprehensive book.

great book, mediocre packaging job by Elise Litwiller

when i received this book it was wrapped in the shrinkwrap, and then only in brown paper. there were several holes through the paper and plastic by the time it arrived. thankfully there was no damage to the book.

The book arrived brand new wrapped in plastic and was much cheaper than other places I've checked. It also arrived within about 2 days which was great! I was very satisfied with the purchase.

Excellent entry level text by Jason Harris (Gaithersburg, MD USA)

This is an excellent basic clinical neuroanatomy text. It is clear and simple to read with many nice figures and illustrations. For those already adept in neurology, a more in depth text and atlas may be desired.

Excellent text and pictures for CENTRAL anatomy by JHC

This book gave me the crash course through neuro-anatomy I needed as a junior resident in neurology. I only wished I had this book as an intern so I could have read it then. The only negative about this book is that it does not focus a whole lot on the peripheral nervous system. So as I went to my outpatient months, this book was not as useful. For central anatomy, I highly recommend this book to any neurology residents, medical students, or any other health professional who wants enjoyable lession on neuroanatomy.
