Summary: Organized classically by system, this popular text gives medical and health professions students a complete, clinically oriented introduction to neuroanatomy. Each chapter begins with clear objectives, includes clinical cases, and ends with clinical notes, clinical problem-solving, and review questions. Hundreds of full-colour illustrations, diagnostic images, and colour photographs enhance the text. This Seventh Edition features new information relating the different parts of the skull to the brain areas, expanded coverage of brain development and neuroplasticity, and updated information on stem cell research. The artwork has been greatly improved. New Clinical Problems have been added, and updated Clinical Notes incorporate recent advances resulting from war veterans' head injuries and treatment.
