SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This vibrantly illustrated textbook presents a tightly focused examination and review of concepts essential to the understanding and mastery of Neuroanatomy. Among its many distinctions are its organization by region and then pathways into and out of the nervous system, which provides students with an integrated view of the anatomy and physiology. The level of treatment, as well as the author's concise writing style, is ideal for increasingly shorter neuroanatomy course hours for medical and allied health students. Features of the 10th Edition: Detailed information on embryology, cytology, comparative anatomy, and physiology as they relate to understanding of the human nervous system, Pedagogical features aimed at helping students test their learning, including important facts, clinical notes, definitions for essential terms, and suggested readings, Completely revised and updated chapter on neuroanatomical research methods, Glossary of terms and lists of abbreviations for quick reference, Rich illustrations depicting the major pathways for visual learners Book jacket
