Book Description: This unique text, which fills the gap between shorter texts containing little explanatory material and the advanced compendia for those with a good working knowledge of neurological disorders, is intended for the novice and those physicians who require an update on the diagnosis of neurological disorders. To understand the symptoms and signs requires a good knowledge of the gross anatomy of the central nervous system and supporting tissues. This is achieved by the liberal use of the author's own detailed diagrams backed up with concise and practical guidance on diagnosis and treatment as well as appropriate case studies. This long awaited second edition of a highly popular guide reflects recent advances in the subject such as computed tomography and MRI which have replaced more invasive examination techniques. The tutorial approach will present readers with an authoritative view of the fundamentals of neurology in practice.
This book has become a classic in its field. The outstanding illustrative material still represents its main feature: 375 halftones and line drawings comprise a complete and convenient atlas for the interpretation of neuroimaging studies. Yet the text of this fourth edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded. Fifteen newly written chapters introduce illustrations of the gross anatomy, the blood supply and the microstructure of the central nervous system and deal with the development, topography and functional anatomy of the spinal cord, brain stem and cerebellum, diencephalons and telencephalon.
This new edition provides a clear and reliable guide to the structural and functional organization of the human central nervous system and its broad basis in descriptive and experimental neuroscience. Intended primarily for students of medicine and psychology at all levels, the book is also informative reading for practicing neurobiologists.
Product Description: Totally updated and revised, this long-awaited new edition continues to provide protocols for the restoration of normal functional movement following stroke.
This one-of-a-kind test prep guide helps you to get to know material on neuroscience course exams and the USMLE Step 1; practice with 500 USMLE Step 1-style questions with referenced answers; review explanations for right and wrong answers; and build confidence, skills, and knowledge.
Product Description: This atlas combines the precision and beauty of 325 Netter and Netter-style illustrations with updated information to reflect our growing understanding of the many regions and systems of the brain, spinal cord, and periphery. Concise neuroscience atlas using Netter illustrations to highlight key neuroanatomical concepts and clinical correlations. The single best source of illustrations of the nervous system, with comprehensive up-to-date information in a succinct and useful format, reflecting current understanding of the nervous system.
Provides an overview of the basic features of the spinal cord, brain, and peripheral nervous system, the vasculature, meninges and cerebrospinal fluid, and basic development.
Uses a regional organization of the peripheral nervous system, spinal cord, brain stem and cerebellum, and forebrain.
Offers a systemic organization of the sensory motor systems, motor systems (including cerebellum and basal ganglia), and limbic/hypothalmic/autonomic systems.
Format of color plate with legend -- legends included on the same page as the illustrations to prevent the need for turning pages back and forth. Several tightly organized tables included to eliminate the need for long or detailed figure descriptions or text. These tables are useful aides to student learning. Schematic cross-sectional brain stem anatomy, and side-by-side comparisons of horizonal sections, CTs and MRs, eliminate the need for an additional purchase of a detailed neuroanatomy atlas. Netter's well-recognized and aesthetically pleasing neurosciences illustrations updated to reflect today's science.

The thoroughly updated Fourth Edition of this acclaimed reference describes and illustrates the full range of pediatric disorders diagnosable by modern neuroimaging. This edition includes state-of-the-art information on the use of proton spectroscopy, diffusion imaging, and perfusion imaging in diagnosing metabolic disorders, brain tumors, abnormalities of cerebral microstructure, and abnormalities of blood flow. New entities have been added to the chapters on metabolic disorders, brain injuries, congenital malformations of the brain and skull, cerebellar disorders, brain tumors, phakomatoses, hydrocephalus, and infections. More than 2,400 images complement the text. A List of Disorders with corresponding page numbers enables readers to quickly look up a disease.
Drawing on decades of teaching and research experience, Bryan Kolb and Ian Whishaw offer a proven framework for exploring the biological basis of behavior. Each chapter of An Introduction to Brain and Behavior explores a specific question asked by working neuroscientists and students (i.e. "Why do we have a brain?" "How is the nervous system organized?"). This approach brings coherence to a vast subject, and helps students understand what information is important as their study of brain and behavior progresses chapter to chapter.
