Opis

Taking a novel, highly interactive approach, Functional Neuroanatomy emphasizes the conceptual and experimental foundations needed to both comprehend neuroanatomy and apply it to clinical problems. Coverage begins with an introduction to gross structures, histological architecture, and imaging modalities. From there, a systematic treatment of specific areas follows, with an emphasis on explaining their interrelationships. Concluding chapters elegantly tie together key concepts through a focus on system development and trauma. Also included are helpful appendices, including a glossary and an atlas of labeled gross structures and cross sections, and an introduction to clinical brain imaging. Rich in resources, this book relies on problems and exercises to engage the student, providing numerous dissections, radiological materials, histology of various neurological disorders, and clinical case studies. Numerous instructive images appear throughout the text, while a detailed discussion encompasses functional MRI, computed tomography (CT), and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Clearly organized to provide a thorough understanding of the central nervous system and its function, this manual stands alone as a complete textbook in functional neuroanatomy for medical, graduate, and advanced undergraduate students.

This manual presents functional neuroanatomy and a thorough understanding of the function of the central nervous system. Its takes a problem and exercise–based approach to the material, including dissections, radiological material, histology, clinical cases and experimental data.
