Summary: | "This book, now in its 27th edition, is designed as an accessible, easy-to-remember synopsis of neuroanatomy and its functional and clinical implications. Since many of us learn and remember better when material is presented visually, this book is well illustrated not only with clinical material such as brain scans and pathological specimens but also with hundreds of diagrams and tables that are designed to be clear, explicative, and memorable. This book is not meant to supplant longer, comprehensive handbooks on neuroscience and neuroanatomy. On the contrary, it has been designed to provide a manageable and concise overview for busy medical students and residents, as well as trainees in health-related fields such as physical therapy; graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with an interest in neuroanatomy and its functional underpinnings; and clinicians in practice, for whom minutes are precious."--Preface.
